Convert Threads into Channels

Current problem

Discussions sometimes flow into threads naturally, and sometimes a thread takes on a life of its own. A thread may become active/popular enough that it makes sense to just turn it into a permanent channel. I've seen this occasionally done back on Discord, but no direct conversion method means the conversation history before the "conversion" gets lost or split off into an archive.

Proposed change

I would like request a feature where a community moderator or admin could directly convert an existing thread into a channel while preserving all of the conversation history.
