State of disqus to discourse importer

[Quintin_Par]

I am trying to migrate my comments from disqus to discourse and came across these comments
https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrating-from-disqus-to-discourse-for-static-blog-comments/19947/22?u=quintin_par
I couldn’t find the importer at

Is the importer still active?

Import Wordpress comments through Disqus

Hi, I try to migrate my WordPress comments to Discourse. I’ve read a lot about that, and I saw I need to transit my comments through Disqus to do that, because imports script don’t work with WP at this time.
