Personally I'm against that, as it will dilute the community and once
the mailing lists will get inactive they'll stay that way.
Also github/discussions is a proprietary platform at Microsoft's whim, I
think this goes against the spirit of the project as free software.
That said, I'll be "voting" -0, don't want to get in the way of
"progress".

All,
It's been a while since I had last proposed adopting and trying the
Github Discussions feature for our users community. Since then, the ASF
infra seems to have enabled integration and allowing Discussions
integrated with mailing lists:
https://github.com/search?q=.asf.yaml+discussions&type=code
Following discussions with both technical and non-technical users from
the CCC, I believe we should try this out and use it for users to
discuss their ideas, questions, and problems, all that traditionally
has happened on the users@ ML; while been integrating such discussions
on the users@ ML. The Discussions platform could be used by developers
too to get feedback from users.
That said, we MUST continue to use our mailing lists for any project
governance related matters such as releases related discussions,
releases voting, and any form of consensus and decision making.
I've proposed a PR for this here where the discussions feature is tied
to users@ ML:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/8274/files
Thoughts and feedback?
Regards.
