Hi,  
I am a member of the [ITK community](https://discourse.itk.org/).

ITK is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration. ITK is fiscally sponsored by [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org/).

We would like to know whether there is a mechanism such that when a topic in our Discourse space gets successfully answered an automated message is posted to the topic suggesting some voluntary contribution to our project.

If not, can this be made into a feature request? I have seen that the Discourse GitHub repository does not allow to open issues.

Thanks.

Hi @Stephen,

thanks for the early reply. I had navigated through the Discourse repositories and Discourse categories, but had not run into the `Discourse Automation` resource. Seems like it is what we are looking for.

Thank you.
