Great work! This has been on my list ever since sup was revived.
I have worked with it on and off: working with upstream to get a hold on
the dependencies they have forked (ncursesw-ruby and rmail-sup).
The work I had done with manual pages are now also merged upstream.

The bugs that were unsolved that aren't closed so far are
#518723: Cannot express Maildir containing space as source
#518760: importing many accounts crash with "regular expression too big"
#688817: sup-config crashes loading sources
#688851: crashes on startup
#688917: crashes starting for the first time when no ~/.sup directory exists
The last one, #688917, is solved upstream
https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/pull/124
I have submitted reopening of the other bugs (as recommended in #758515,
the removal bug).
I submitted #688817 and #688851 a while back ago to remember to fix this,
hopefully they can be verified and closed quickly.
Likewise #518723 is probably easy to verify and close. The last one, #518760,
might require some more work, in order to prepare enough Maildirs to import,
to close.

Yes, this is a hard nut...
I think that we should at least ship the wiki text on how to migrate in
/usr/share/docs, and also mention this in NEWS.
I also raised this question on the supmua mailing list and got an answer
that we might try, verify, and document
