It seems like we can import the email list from julia-users and julia-dev, and you can reply on Discourse by email, so people who interact with groups via email won't necessarily even notice much difference. For people who interact via the web interface, I think that once the Discourse setup is ready and populated with past discussions, we will disable posting to groups and thereby cut over to the new system. It will be briefly disruptive but shouldn't be too bad.
