WebAuthn on StackOverflow

Hi,

During our last call, we discussed if and how we might coordinate better
dev support on StackOverflow for WebAuthn.

I personally feel this would be great to do, with double benefits:
* supporting adoption directly by providing a helpline on some of the
challenges we know developers face with the technology
* supporting adoption indirectly by learning what developers find
confusing, insufficient or ill-adapted to their environment when they
try to adopt WebAuthN.

At the moment, there aren't so many questions tagged with the "webauthn"
tag:
  https://stackoverflow.com/tags/webauthn/ (a few are still looking for
answers)

The "fido" tag has not very many either:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fido

The general keyword search provides more questions on "webauthn":
  https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=webauthn
and a lot more on the "fido" keyword
  https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=fido (although with
quite a bit of noise)

Here is a simple suggestion to approach a coordinated approach: I could
have new webauthn- and fido-tagged questions automatically announced on
our Slack channel. Is this something y'all feel would be conducive to
getting more responsiveness on the topic in StackOverflow?

Any other approach you think might work better? I'm happy to look into
dedicated tooling if needed (I already have some prototype tools that
watch StackOverflow activity [1])
