Everything on the SX sites that is about Emacs or
mostly about Emacs will be moved to that site - at
least new questions. But that's just small potatoes.
The big potato is all the people (old and new SX
users) that will know about the Emacs SX site: those
will go there first hand and post their Q&As.
If you want an easy way to monitor Emacs activity on
the SX sites, how can you not want one site with
Emacs-only material? Isn't that the easiest way by far?

In principle yes but in reality it will be much more
specific and in-depths, I can't imagine otherwise.
There is a TeX site. TeX is programming, so why not use
SE? A specific site makes for more specific, more
detailed, more of everything. It just makes for deeper
and broader drilling.

Of course it is manual - you think some algorithm
should do that? The maintainers are hopefully
enthusiastic about their site which is the only reason
to do it. I'm not enthusiastic so I'll pass, but I can
definitely see the advantages of the project. Moving
questions is a very small detail in this issue (and it
doesn't involve much overhead either).

So they stay. What's the problem?
Again, this is a small detail. Most questions on the
Emacs SX site will not be moved there - they will be
posted there by people who know what they are doing!
