We had a small chat about this on slack:
https://apache-airflow.slack.com/archives/CCPRP7943/p1598111138037700

I personally think that if our request for paid Slack is not accepted
we should consider moving to Github Discussion. Even if we got paid
plan, I would be in favor of migrating as we don't know how long it
will be avaliabe for us.

I saw a few projects using it already and I like keeping discussion
close to code (all this features of linking and nice code snippets!).
If we decide on migration then I would also suggest to consider using
StackOverflow for handling troubleshooting.

My only concern is that it's even more Github-locking. But I do not
expect Github to request open-source projects to pay for anything.
