Names are only a problem when the same *identical* list name is used in
2 different domains. Each domain can use it's own name for posting to
the lists as long as forwards are set up (there's a script to do this
for you). It's just that the same list name can't be used in 2 different
domains. Do you have this situation?
AFA established lists go, I don't know about migration. Dnk knew someone
who did this recently, and was going to look into it. I expect goodle
would return some relevant findings.

You had my curiosity up until this point.
I have several domains with mailing lists that have been running for several
years now and are well established. Changing the name would lose the
branding of the domain.

Does this mean there's still the limitation of not being able to
replicate Mailman list names across a number of qmail virtual domains?
i.e.
[email protected]

TTBOMK, there is only one list domain, so list names would need to be
unique across domains (your example would not work). Multiple domains
can have lists, but they would be aliased to the "list" domain, and
would thus have to be unique.
Under ezmlm this is fine, however can't be done 'nicely' with a
standalone Mailman, though virtual domain support is mentioned as a
desirable for the next major release.
I saw a note in the documentation that multiple virtual domains are
slated for Mailman v3. I've no idea when that might be.
Not being able to reuse the same list name across my hosted domains
would be the only reason I wouldn't pickup Mailman.
That's unfortunate. I can't say with certainty, but it doesn't to me
that it'd be terribly difficult for a proficient python programmer to
add this capability. Alternatively, it'd be easy enough to set up
multiple instances of Mailman, but that could get ugly. :(

If anyone's interested in trying it out, please give it a go. I
think the instructions are pretty complete, but it'd be nice to have
a few folks try it out before we endeavor to create a formal
mailman-toaster package (which we'd like to do).
And for you ezmlm users out there, I hope that someone will figure
out an easy way to migrate lists from ezmlm to Mailman. I haven't
looked into that at all, and don't need to either as I have no ezmlm
lists.
NJoy!
