[Feature] Channel for pulling news. updates, information from websites

[usshauler]

Like in Discord, you can designate certain channels to be announcement channels that pulls latest news from sites with either RSS or some sort of follow feature. By doing this, you can also obtain latest releases from GitHub repo's you are following, etc .... and displayinh it as a message for everyone to read on a timed basis or when it pulls...

This is basically already possible with announcement channels and bots. You can set a channel type to "announcement" (which gives it different notification behavior), then run a bot that pulls RSS feeds, GitHub releases, etc. and posts them as messages. Haven's bot framework supports this kind of automation out of the box.

Building RSS polling directly into the server isn't something I'm planning at the moment since bots handle it well and keep things modular, but I appreciate the suggestion.
