It should just be a matter of going into the admin ui of the old doc
list and getting a dump of email addresses subscribed, then going to
the admin ui of the new list and using the batch subscribe option to
resubscribe them.

You can add me (but Ill hover in the background mainly and just be
there for 'backup').
