Can we mirror, or move, all newsgroups and mailing lists into Discourse?

@MattAU

given that the subscriber base for tb-planning is also used to define the community for voting purposes

I thought I saw something about emailing someone proof you’ve contributed 20hrs if you wanted to vote.

For reference, MDN actually migrated all the way onto Discourse: Use Discourse as a replacement for mailing lists - #14 by nukeador

I’ll also volunteer here to help out any way I can with implementing a move/mirror. I’d love to set up a proof of concept two way mirror. And if it’s needed, I’d be happy helping administer any needed Linux servers.

Are all Thunderbird lists running on mailman? What’s the difference between a news group and a list? Are there any specific settings I’d need to make sure to copy if I set up my own mailman list/newsgroup to test with?
