Just let me know which project and I can copy it over easily enough ... just
make sure that the project admins know not to commit anything to the old when
they are ready, and to wait for the new to be available ...

I can copy over whatever files are needed, but someone with mailman experience
will need to provide instructions to export/import whatever is required ...

I believe JoshB had some scripts that he worked up with ChrisR's help from the
gborg side ... but, I also believe they were meant to be run system-wide, not
per project ... might provide a starting point though ...

Files themselves should be moveable, and any 'release history', I would
imagine, would be stored in teh database, so a conversion script of some sort
would need to be made ...
