Yes, that is the plan. In fact, not just the above but also these


- ML https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-mailinglist.html
- Bugs https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=grub/
- lore https://lore.kernel.org/grub-devel/

These may take some time but volunteers are welcome to speed up the process.

What do you think is the best way to reach the outside distro/buildroot/YP
community?

BTW, We will send an email soon with migration details as mentioned in the
commit description.

Good points, I'm not sure of the best path but at least you pointed out
what is needed. Let me talk to the team about it.
