Just wanted to share something that we’re now using for our community! We created a GitHub Action to automatically create new topics on our Discourse instance for when a new release is published on a GitHub repository.
You can configure the topic author, category, and tags.
Heads up: v1.1.0 was just released with GitHub-to-Discourse username mapping
This is useful for projects with multiple maintainers. Release topics can now be posted as the release author’s mapped Discourse username, instead of always using a fixed discourse-author-username (or system as fallback).
Details are in the README, but the mapping comes from a discourse.yml file in your org’s .github repository.
When working on this update, I noticed some of y’all have been using it
