Yes, but mentioning that this would not be "the" Org discourse (not forum.orgmode.org), just "a" Org forum maintained by X for the benefit of the whole Org community (which is not really a thing actually, just a mental shortcut for "every Org user out there"). It would be a good outcome to have such a forum: I'd be more comfy recommending users to ask questions there iff they don't want/like sharing questions on the ML than recommending them using reddit and the like.
