The owners of the Launchpad projects are the only ones that can do it.  
My uneducated guess that nobody has done it is that there may be some 
uncertainty over the archive (will it still be available once the 
feature is disabled?) and over the functionalities of Ask (will it send 
email notifications for new questions, per project, so that  for 
example swift developers are notified of new questions about swift?)

Tom Fifield developed a script to migrate the answers off of launchpad 
and to Ask OpenStack. The script still needs to be integrated in Ask. 
This should take care of the first objection.

The second objection is still kind of unknown to me: the notification 
system in Ask should support notifications but I get too many of them 
now and haven't had time to carefully test it. Does anybody have time 
to help?
