Category, is like the one you created about the discourse site feedback.
Mirror, is a category that mirrors the mailing list, so the mails received
on the mailing list are also shown on discourse.
If you "reply" to those mails using discourse, they will not be shown on
the mailing list, as the mirror does not send mails to the mailing list.
The reply that will be shown is the one done using mail.

When migrating subscribers are also migrated and are "staged users", and
they can log in using ldap, or github account.
If the mail of their log in matches, the staged users get assigned to the
person that logged in.

Vicky
