I cant find anything on extracting a list's settings, owners etc and then using those to create a new list on a new domain.
Is there a simple operational command to extract and inject?
The tool for this is mailman's bin/config_list which can both esport and import list configuration but not list membership.
Do you have root or admin access to the server? There are tools in the bin directory that allows for such functions via the command line. You can retrieve your list roster using the who command via email. Also the list/listname/config.pck has all that information but again you need to have root access to the server to retrieve that. Here are some directions to use the WHO command:
As Brian notes, the email who command can be ysed to extract list
membership as can the command line bin/list_members, and either of these
lists can be used as input to bin/add_members or the admin Mass
Subscribe function, but these operations do not preserve user options,
passwords, etc.
The one single way to move everything is to obtain a copy of Mailman's lists/<listname>/config.pck file and move it, and maybe also get the lists archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file and use it to rebuild the archive.
See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030682> for more info.
All the above assumes the new domain is on a different server. If it is just a different virtual domain on the same server, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030617>.
