Well, there's more than that. You'd need to move the actual mailman list
(though afaik that shouldn't be very hard; one issue is that you'd want
to shut mailman and probably the MTA down while a list is being moved).
What about files? Is there anything else?
I suggest setting up a project on pgfoundry and putting scripts there,
especially since some of this stuff can be figured out without access to
the actual environments (ie: a script to transfer a mailman list).
I know we've got a test copy of pgfoundry setup; do we have a test copy
of gborg somewhere as well?
