There is a clear benefit of having a forum, as there are clearly a lot
of people who prefer not to use mailing lists.
I would suggest that deliberately separating a language team from the
main community is counter productive to one of the reasons that
LibreOffice was formed, to unite the community across all languages.

When the Drupal site has been created I am sure the French speaking
team can make the assessment, and if decided so, migration from phpBB
to Drupal is quite simple.
