I’m the owner of this account. The goal is to test drive duplicating Slack questions to the GitHub discussions. With the current level of activity in Slack it’s not so hard to do it manually.
I’m in CET now. I can share the account credentials with people who can post questions to GitHub Discussions on behalf of this account in other time zones. Or I can do it once a day. If someone doesn’t find it useful or has ideas on how to do it in a better way, just say it directly.

Hello, I see that some "Pulsar Community Bot" appeared in Slack it is connected to this email address "pulsar.community....@gmail.com" While I find this thing "amazing"....I wonder if I missed something, who is the owner of this "bot" ?
