[Mailman-Users] Changing list name - any scripts or utilities?

Ok - I have been giving the thrilling task of making all of our list names
standard conventions -- I have over 60 lists and I don't want to lose the
archives.  I have created new lists and I am going one by one and
subscribing the members and moving the archives over but of most of the
links in the archives are set to the wrong name,

Has anyone written a script that will go through and change a name in the
archives (ie look for a certain string like a link to the information page)
and change it to the new name.

If anyone has written anything to help automate this process I would be
greatly appreciative of any scripts or programs that may help.  It took me
45 mintues to do one list and the task seems so daunting.

I am running mailman 2.0.8 right now (I want to get the lists cleaned up so
I can upgrade and not have a zillion lists)
