This import doesn't support nested discussions (threading). I think it is possible to support that, but I didn't think it important enough to spend the extra effort to do so. It's still not definite that I'll convert Sequel from Google Groups to GitHub Discussions, though it does seem likely at this point based on feedback received so far.
