Hello Benoit,

Thank you for the initiative on this, it's really needed.

Happy to help on this as well.

I did create a JIRA hoping it's easier to keep track of what's going on 
and what's left for the community on this topic overall: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4220

I think I got all the PRs opened regarding this, feel free to add if I 
forgot some.

Also quick thinking:

- can we rework the migration release notes? I noticed people regularly 
complain on having a hard time upgrading from one version of james to an 
other as we put all migrations instructions in one file for each flavor 
of james (distributed, postgres, memory, etc). Having subsections with 
proper instructions per James flavor would make things easier for the 
community in general to upgrade between versions.

Thoughts?

Rene.
