does one need a GitHub account in order to join such a discussion?
Yes, I think so. It's a good point, but given the issues we've had just making forum usernames based on emails, I'm not entirely sure it's a bad thing :)
I think not requiring any account would cause too much of an issue with spam :(
AFAIK a GitHub Discussions is bound to a GitHub project: does this mean that there would be multiple GitHub Discussions
No, there'd just be one. As @MaBe says maybe a separate project just for the forum makes sense.

Definitely agreed - my point was that asking questions about an Espruino device should not require a GitHub account (now managed by Microsoft and almost certainly not GDPR compliant...)
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
