Piotr shared a very good observation (in a private Slack post <https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/C4TQW0M5L/p1692821047719209>) that users ask questions in GitHub Issues, we point them to the mailing list, and they disappear. See this ticket <https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/1722> for an example. Consequently, Matt proposed using GitHub Discussions. Robert added Pulser already has it enabled <https://github.com/apache/pulsar/discussions>. I think many users are more keen on forums, GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. We should position ourselves where our users expect us to be. In that regard, *GitHub Discussions sounds like a great idea and I propose experimenting with it*:
- Enable GitHub Actions - Update our support page accordingly - Update README One would think this should be a matter of a `.asf.yaml` one-liner, but it is not <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=INFRA&title=Git+-+.asf.yaml+features#Git.asf.yamlfeatures-GitHubDiscussions> : *"GitHub Discussions is currently a beta feature and does not have an API endpoint. Until this is addressed, please open an Infra Jira ticket with a link to a consensus discussion thread for your project."* Hence, *I need your approval in the form of a reply to this post*.
