Ok, I stand corrected.

We don't do migrations like that, so that people:

1) Learn how to subscribe, and thus how to unsubscribe.

2) Don't get upset that they were added to a mailing list
   site they may not want to be one.

So I'd ask that you send an announcement out to the old list,
and during a transition period you can subscribe the old
list onto the vger one.

Neil B. did something similar recently for linux-nfs, perhaps
you can ask him how he handled it.
