Since you are going to be merging the archives into one, you are presumably not concerned about invalidating previously saved archive URLs, since I don't know how they would be maintained in any merge. The short answer is concatenate the archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox files for the lists into one collective file which replaces the archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file for the list you are going to keep. Then run bin/arch --wipe listname for the 'kept' list to build a new archive with all messages. Depending on how old your lists are, it may be helpful to check the .mbox file with bin/cleanarch first.
