Please consider signing up to help maintain and manage the overhead you're endorsing. And your envisioned migration scenario applies only for questions unrelated to anything else, besides Emacs, on the given site. Other questions tagged Emacs might well be more relevant right where they are. That's one reason migration is manual.
