Get the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files from the old
server.

Stop Mailman on the new server.

Combine the old archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files with
the new archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files, e.g.

  cat old.mbox new.mbox > tmpfile
  cp tmpfile new.mbox

where old.mbox is the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox from
the old server and new.mbox is
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox on the current server.

Then run

  bin/arch --wipe LISTNAME

to rebuild the pipermail archive on the new server from the
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file.

After doing this for each moved list, start Mailman.
