An Importer for Google Groups

Did you look into either of these projects?

GitHub - icy/google-group-crawler: [Deprecated] Get (almost) original messages from google group archives. Your data is yours.
GitHub - henryk/gggd: Get Google Groups Data – Tool to fetch all messages of a Google Group as raw mbox data

They output mbox data, which Discourse already has a script for:

script/import_scripts/mbox.rb

main

# frozen_string_literal: true

if ARGV.length != 1 || !File.exist?(ARGV[0])
  STDERR.puts "", "Usage of mbox importer:", "bundle exec ruby mbox.rb <path/to/settings.yml>"
  STDERR.puts "",
              "Use the settings file from #{File.expand_path("mbox/settings.yml", File.dirname(__FILE__))} as an example."
  exit 1
end

module ImportScripts
  module Mbox
    require_relative "mbox/importer"
    Importer.new(ARGV[0]).perform
  end
end

So as long as you could get either of those projects to output clean mbox data that the importer script can work with, we’re golden

p.s. @pacharanero also took the scraper approach and successfully migrated several sites with it.
