WordPress is based on PHP and MySQL. So it is very flexible and powerful. This article will guide you how to create a page that shows the comment statistics for your blog. For example, a table with two columns, the author and the number of their comments.
In order to enable PHP code, you will need to install a plugin that allows you to include PHP code in your posts/pages. My recommendation is to search for [Simple Include HTML and PHP] at your wordpress control panel.
Then, you need to create a page that at least has the following (marked in red).

Clicking the [Author] will navigate to the URL provided (in new window), and clicking the [The number of Comments] will lead to their latest comment. The URL format may need to be adjusted if it is not the standard one [/archives/post_id].
The example page can be viewed here: https://justyy.com/commentator (in Chinese).
The PHP function mysql_real_escape_string() is depreciated but you can still use esc_sql or $wpdb->prepare() to escape strings (containing single or double quotes) for SQL/database.
