It actually might be simpler than I suggested. Discourse has a script to
import an mbox:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/mbox.rb

I’m running the box importer script now and it appears to work fine. While
some people might have historical mbox files, it might be better to get the
source of truth from Google Groups?
