actions: notify teams upon new discussion in category

+# This workflow notifies working groups about new discussions in their corresponding
+# categories, by mentioning the Team in a first comment.
+# It is necessary since GitHub doesn't support subsriptions to discussion categories
+# see related feature request: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/3951
+# If GitHub implements this feature, this workflow becomes obsolete.
+
+# To work, this workflow requires a GitHub App installed on the repository with the
+# following permissions:
+#   - Write and Read of repository Discussions
+#   - Read of Organization members (needed for reading the teams)
+
+# !! You need to make sure that the app's id and a generated private key are saved
+# as corresponding organization secrets !!
