Assuming standard archiving settings, the messages are in the
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file(s) (and in the list
archives), but the out queue entry which contained the message with
the recipient list is gone. Depending on digest settings and whether a
digest has been produced, the messages may also be in the
lists/listname/digest.mbox file(s).

If you can build a list of recipients, you could extract the messages
into individual files and use /usr/sbin/sendmail to resend them.

You could also use Mailman's bin/inject to reintroduce them to
Mailman's in queue, but you need to remove things like Mailman's
X-BeenThere header first. Also this will result in the messages being
added a second time to archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox
(and the digest), although the duplicate Message-Id will probably
result in their not being duplicated in the HTML archive.

You could also just send a message to the list(s) apologizing for the
lost messages and referring people to the archives.
