Yes, the lists can be moved to OSGeo. Please file a ticket on
trac.osgeo.org/osgeo

Likely no one with mailman skills has been available to deal with the
issue. Do you have someone on your team who can help out? I imagine
you'll need to get a dump of subscribers and your archive prepared for
migration. I have no idea how to go about doing that, so if you're team
could figure that out it would save some time.
