RE: [Rust] Enable GitHub discussions for Rust projects?

[Matthew Turner]

+1 on enabling GitHub discussions for both arrow-rs and datafusion.  I think 
there is a lot of value in distinguishing actual "issues" with questions / 
conversations.  I believe this would also complement the datafusion site which 
doesn't have any type of forum for conversations.

Subject: [Rust] Enable GitHub discussions for Rust projects?

We have a request [1] to enable GitHub discussions for DataFusion.
Personally, I am in favor of doing this for DataFusion as well as arrow-rs.
We need to file an infra ticket to get this enabled and have to provide a link 
to "consensus discussion thread" [2] so I would like to gather opinions here 
prior to hopefully initiating a vote on this.

I am in favor of keeping discussions separate from issues because:

1. I believe that it makes It is less intimidating for users to ask questions 
2. It is easier for part-time contributors to keep an eye on discussions than 
to monitor the issues which are likely always going to be higher volume

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Andy.
