How about just converting those threads back to Wikitext, instead? That

Bottom line, it makes no sense to replace software that was considered
barely suitable when it was first developed with "new" software that can't
even do what that old, long-neglected software could do...and in several
cases, there is no intention to ever add the features already available
using Wikitext.
As expectations increase for project users to post their
comments/concerns/ideas/observations on Mediawiki, the use of Flow will
become a barrier for participation.

Converting LQT to Wikitext would lose the major benefits of:
* per-Topic watchlisting,
* per-Topic category support,
* Sortable views (with Filterable views on the roadmap [1]),
as well as the immensely easier process for new-editors to be able to
participate in discussions, and be notified about replies.[2]
But it would provide the advantage of using the standardized discussion
technique used in virtually all Wikimedia installations. There doesn't
seem to be any particular user demand to adopt Flow, so there's no
reason to believe it will gain any more traction than LQT ever did.
