Enhancement (Core Feature): Add thread and forum to GitHub discussion

[JacobCoffee]

Summary

The entire idea behind Byte was that there exists no other solution whereby we can take a threaded discussion or forum post on a Discord guild and push it somewhere like GitHub discussions.

There is some bot that makes them indexable, but it uploads it to their own website, and it isn't the perfect solution.

Asks:

• Have it usable as a command inside of the current thread or forum post. @byte, upload this to GitHub
• Have it (configurable) automatically attach to any new/current/non-solved thread or forum post and automatically upload it daily/when marked solved/etc.
• Have a command to detach from a thread or forum post even if it is not marked with the (configurable) Exclude from GitHub tag

Basic Example

• Have Byte read the thread or forum post
• Send to GitHub GraphQL API: https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/guides/using-the-graphql-api-for-discussions#creatediscussion
• Periodically check discussions, mark them as closed when the chosen tag is set. Ideally this is something like Solved or Completed but should be configurable by the guild owner.
• Additionally, there should be a user-definable tag that allows discussions to not be uploaded at all (maybe it is not relevant, or too abstract.) Something like Exclude from GitHub.

Here, the solved posts should update the relevant GitHub discussion and mark it as closed, and it should make sure to not upload any discussions from the Code Review post.

Drawbacks and Impact

Threads do not have tags, so it makes things hard and may be out of scope. Forum posts would be enough for this, and should allow us a lot more flexibility (❓)

Unresolved questions

• How do we respect Discord tags? (Exclude from GitHub, Solved, etc.)

Mark specific message as answer: (to be sent to GH)
I'm thinking send question thread to GH as a Q&A, reply the this a 2nd time with the message marked as the answer, and then mark that as the answer to the GH Q&A discussion.
