I don't think anything is planned (that I know of).

If it helps, I did a lot of the mass importing for the multimedia team
and created a script to help out. I can modify it for the games team and
do the import:
 https://salsa.debian.org/jcowgill/multimedia-cli

The multimedia team are also (slowly) switching back to
debian-multimedia@lists.d.o as their maintainer list. Is this a good
idea for the games team to start doing as well given that the migrated
alioth lists might disappear in a few years?

Thanks,
James
