If we can redirect posts to the new list (which I think is a good idea) then
this effectively the same thing as disabling the old one, right?

Ouch. If this is the only option, then we must really make sure all the
live-* packages in Lenny have the new list in the Maintainer field, which
may have some timing issues.

With a redirect, that sounds like a suitable time. We will have to spot
whether people posted to the Alioth list and inform them though -- it will
be fairly transparent to subscribers to the new list. Without a redirect,
that seems like a far too painful job to keep up for months though.

Yes. I'm not sure what the objections were to this action before, but I
presume we will be changing List-Id at the very least. But IMHO temporarily
breaking filters by re-subscribing members is *far* preferable to
essentially unsubscribing people, even if it is not silent.
