Google supports structured data , including a forum data type it seems:
http://schema.org/DiscussionForumPosting
I’ve seen other forums show up in Google search results with comment count, author count, and other structured data.
Does Discourse support this and if not, is it on the roadmap?
Thanks.

I think this is related to
Hey there Discourse team,
I am totally new here and I love what you have done so far. I noticed that when someone replies to a thread created in Discourse forums that answer is marked as an Article with microdata.
This comes up as invalid at Google’s Testing Tool since it is missing a few markups such as “headline”, “image” and “publisher” which are required when Article is being used.
Is that something that was discussed previously? If yes please feel free to delete my Topic.

Thanks.
I replied to that suggested topic. It appears someone attempted to address this, but it just fizzled out. I’m hoping my comments on that thread get things moving along again.
