Three.js: Enable "linkback" plugin on the forum
Going over the plugins we have available on the forum, I noticed that there's a GitHub linkback plugin, which is currently disabled.
If a PR or issue on the repo is discussed here, then the plugin will make a discrete post on this repo to alert people, with "Discourse Meta" replaced by "Discourse three.js"
Enabling this would help to bridge the gap between the forum and here a bit and prevent useful info from getting lost.

In trying to understand the motivation for this plugin, I found this explanation:
We do most of our discussion on meta.discourse.org, so there is often a post or topic about the change with more context.
But we don't do that. We do _all_ our PR discussions here, on this site.
The point of the discourse help site is to keep help questions over there, and off of this site. I am not sure a bot posting links on this site is a good idea. We can add links ourselves when it is appropriate -- and we do.

I would not say that. A lot of discussion related to PRs or github issues happens in the forum with the user base. We might want to give this plugin a try to find out how useful it actually is.

You are not active on the forum, so how can you know what's discussed there?

I think this will create even more notifications/noise for me to go through every day...

Okay, it seems this suggestions receives not enough support. Closing for now.
