Mailman .db files, despite the name, are *not* Berkeley DB files. They are Python marshall files. (In Mailman 2.1, they will be called .pck and become Python pickle files.) In any event, I'm pretty sure they are platform independent. If that is the case, then are these files portable

Feel free to create such a script. It should be fairly easy - if tedious to do: ../bin/config_list will easily dump out the entire list configuration in text format, and it will also easily dump it right back into a list... ../bin/list_members will let you dump out the user lists into groups
