The previously working `:disable_emails` option in the `BackupRestore.restore!` function seems not to be passed to `BackupRestore::Restorer::initialize` any more:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/backup_restore.rb#L19-L27>

while [discourse/lib/backup\_restore/restorer.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/backup_restore/restorer.rb#L12:)

```
def initialize(user_id:, filename:, factory:, disable_emails: true)

```

So now this option parameter is silently dropped, making it impossible to restore without disabling emails.

Maybe forgotten while refactoring, maybe removed on purpose?
