I'd suggest adding a footer to all these mailing list mails that states the project is now at Apache and the list will be closed down in the future and moved to an Apache.org address. There should also be regular mails to the lists saying the same and inviting list participants to join [email protected] to discuss their needs. As lists are created here you can change these headers and mails to warnings about switch off with subscription instructions for the lists here.
