(Warning: I'm a novice. I'm replying only because I see your query has not been answered after five days.) You can subscribe the members of the larger list to the smaller list: First export the subscribers using the "list_members" command from the server command line: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members your-list-name > filename-for-member-list Then import those addresses into the smaller list. I believe there are two ways to do this: --You can use the "mass subscribe" feature of the smaller list to import the addresses. Paste the exported addresses into the "mass subscribe" page on the admin web interface. Any duplicates will be ignored. This method allows you the option of sending invitations rather than arbitrarily subscribing them (based on your current setting in the admin interface). If you send invitations, your invitees get the option of choosing between regular and digest subscriptions. --You could also use the "add_members" command from the server command line. I believe this arbitrarily subscribes them without the option of invitations: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/add_members -r filename-for-member-list your-list-name The -r subscribes them as regular members -d as digest members. Hope that helps.
