[core] Announce changelogs on Discord

[joserodolfofreitas]

Summary 💡

We can automatically communicate changelog to our community on Discord.

Steps:

• [ ] Create a channel on discord for release announcements
• [ ] Create Discord webhook
• [ ] Create GitHub action to post message on release

Questions

1. Should we have a common release announcements channel or use one exclusive for X?
2. Should we mention @everyone on the server?

José: Not everyone on the server is there for MUI X, but I'd be in favor to experiment with the mention to everyone in a specific channel for MUI X

Examples 🌈

Motivation 🔦

• helping to spread the message

We could use: https://github.com/Ilshidur/action-discord or https://github.com/marketplace/actions/discord-message-notify

Reference for action:

name: Changelog to Discord

on:
  release:
    types: [published]

jobs:
  notify:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Send Changelog to Discord
      uses: Ilshidur/action-discord@master
      env:
        DISCORD_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
        DISCORD_MESSAGE: "New release: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}\n${{ github.event.release.body }}"

Both actions are for notification style messages only ... we want to push a real message to the channel instead, right?

@joserodolfofreitas I will search for a different action to use. 👍🏼
