Do you know if there is a tool to migrate a mailing list thread
into a corresponding discussions/forum thread?
Eclipse has had a major problem with its forums / mailing lists
ever since NNTP went out of fashion [1] / became flaky [2],
consequently a replacement is long overdue for all Eclipse user
channels, not just Tycho.
IMHO a replacement must preserve existing content so that users
can search for similar experiences. We cannot just start again.
So given a good migration, I strongly encourage this. Without an
adequate migration, I strongly oppose.
I also oppose piecemeal migrations since they undermine
inter-project searches / bug migration.
Perhaps the need to migrate all, rather than just Tycho, channels
may motivate some here to solve the migration issue.
