My resources are available, I am not lobbying to move the stuff to my
network. Groups.io would be a better choice.

...unless you're talking about web sites. We're talking about a
mailing list, and (presumably) file archives, right?

"Everyone else is doing it". Most Yahoo groups that I'm on have
already moved to groups.io, including some really BIG ones like
HP-Agilent-Keysight-Equipment, which dwarfs this one. There have been
no issues, the platform is stable, and this has been going on for a
couple of years now.
Yes, groups.io will probably also eventually be taken over by suits.
Then we move again.
That's how this works.

This is nothing new; these are the very same problems and questions
that every mailing list faces in these situations. They are solvable.
The first thing to do is find the owner of the list.
