You can get the subscriber list by scripting the web interface
(having the script visit all of the pages of the Membership
Management admin interface).  An example of this approach is
available at:
  http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb
You will probably want to extend that example to also record
each member's options (like digest mode, hide, etc.).

You could also script something that copied all of the settings
from one host's web interface to another... but it is probably
easier to do this by hand unless you have a lot lists to
configure.
