GitHub Discussions

Posts a message to GitHub Discussions. You must provide a GitHub token with the write:discussion scope enabled. Will use the same token set in GitHub.

GitHub discussions are currently only possible for repositories that belong to organizations. If you would like to link a release with a discussion then see the use of the discussionCategoryName in the GitHub releaser.
