(I'm assuming some field names from your models to answer)

Make the author field from "comment" searchable:

class CommentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   search_fields = ("=author",)

Use list_display and HTML to control what's displayed on the people's list admin page:

def comments(obj):
    return ('<a href="/admin/pathto/comments/?q=%s">comments</a>' % obj.name)
comments.short_description = 'comments'
comments.allow_tags = True

class PeopleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ("name", comments,)

And change /admin/pathto/comments/ to whatever your comment's admin list page is.

Basically you're going to direct your users to the comments search result page.
