Yes, that what they did. Moreover, they also managed to keep a mailing-list like workflow working (I think you can subscribe to topics and responding to email automatically post a new response).

You can probably ask the people who take care of this about the migration process and the actual setup as your goal looks very similar to the Swift community one at the time they did the transition.
