I got this response from Gavin:

Hi [~jvz] Sorry but I think I'm going to push back on that last request.

Merging the lists - no problem
Merging all the subscribers - no problem
Creating bounce messages directing people to use the merged target list -
no problem

People will know in advance this merger is going to take place, and if they
forget I think it'll take only one or two bounce messages to get the hint.

If you are :-

a) Happy with that - pick a date this can be done , let all lists users
know this is happening and the date then let me know.
b) Not Happy with that - ping this ticket again and we'll escalate further.

Thanks
