I have a copy of Mark's clone_list command and it will allow us to

am not the person normally involved with list creation, etc. Another
group does it. Normally through the web interface which works well
for them. Unless a mistake is made then they have to use the
command line tools. Again, not a problem for me but that group has
very limited knowledge of linux/unix and Mailman.
If they can be assumed to use old list and new list as parameters
(although I could do a check for each…)

Thanks for the info Adam. I was planning on creating a script to do the
renaming like your script. While looking at the Mailman FAQ's on
renaming a list, I saw the link to Mark's clone_list. To make it easier
for the group that would be using the script, I added in the bits to
also copy the archives and rebuild them. I am just happy I don't have
to write the bash script I was planning. The process has eighteen steps
including notifying the list owner (important), doing the work,
verifying everything, and administrative work. The new process using
clone_list has seven steps most of which is administrative.
Thanks again,
Chris
