Moving away from Team Discussions

[anonrig]

I don't know if this is the correct place to write this, but if not, please move this issue to the correct repository.

Today, Github announced that they are deprecating team discussions, this means that we'll no longer have the private area to nominate each other. There is a button called Transfer in https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/teams/collaborators page that I think somebody who is eager to take risks should press, and I thought what about the TSC team?

Team Discussions will be deprecated on May 8th, 2023. We encourage you to transfer these posts to GitHub Discussions. Read more about this deprecation in our [changelog](https://github.co/AAjbqar).
Transfer

@anonrig do you know if the transfer will change anything with respect to public visibility. ie more/less public than before?

[anonrig]

I don't know. I couldn't find any information about this @mhdawson

[cjihrig]

Maybe @MylesBorins knows, or could find out?

We might just look at creating a private repo just for collaborator discussions

[MylesBorins]

Internally we've moved to discussions for this.

So a private repo with discussions enabled seems like the best bet for this. It's also a better interface tbh

Let's do it!

I've added it to the tsc-agenda for visibility.

I think we should create a private repository called nodejs/collaborators, disable everything we can on it except discussions (issues, wiki), and transfer the team discussions to it.

This is what shows up when you click on "Transfer":

We discussed in TSC meeting today, the 8 people we had in the meeting were ok with the suggestion.

Do we need to wait for more comments/approvals? I can make the changes when we're ready.
