(You will probably also want to copy the archives and mm_cfg.py 
customizations.)

If you copied the contents of the lists directory, that contains all of 
the subscriber addresses.

If you mean the addresses to reach the mailing lists, you will also 
need to copy or recreate all of the aliases that pipe mail into mailman 
(unless you use an MTA scheme that automatically detects the lists, 
which is most common for Exim users).  the bin/genaliases command can 
(re)build the complete list of aliases for your lists.  (If you are 
using Postfix, you will also want to tell it where to find the aliases 
in the data directory... details are in README.POSTFIX.)
