Good questions! Here is the plan from the Discourse migration team:

Users from the archive will first be imported as users based on their email, and then they will be merged into your current Discourse site also based on their email; their ID and all user fields from our existing Discourse site will prevail.

not mailman user,     Discourse user  --> use Discourse normally
    mailman user,     Discourse user  --> use Discourse normally; they'll see their old emails in their history as if they posted them through Discourse
    mailman user, not Discourse user  --> will have Discourse user records created along with their old email history; reset Discourse password to start using it

I think the general idea is to make something a top-level category when it has enough traffic and needs sub-categories itself. Flang can always be moved out from under Subprojects when it makes sense. We are trying to limit how many top-level categories we have to make things less visually cluttered. Maybe we can revisit this in a couple months when we see how things go with Flang where it is? 

Thanks,

I have put the migration to discourse guide that was drafted by the Infrastructure Working Group in LLVM Docs, and encourage people to add their tips and tricks to help others migrate over.
