For the webdata list (the ported one):

    'first_strip_reply_to': False,
    'reply_goes_to_list': 1,
    'reply_to_address': '',
 
Outside of the 'passwords', 'members', and 'users'  keys, the following
keys contain 'frank.griffin at selectbs.com':

    'owner': ['frank.griffin at selectbs.com'],

That's it.

For the ftgtest list (created on the new host):

    'first_strip_reply_to': 1,
    'reply_goes_to_list': 1,
    'reply_to_address': '',

and no mention whatever of the address 'frank.griffin at selectbs.com'.

The mailman list contains:

    'first_strip_reply_to': False,
    'reply_goes_to_list': 0,
    'reply_to_address': '',
 
FWIW, there was no lists/mailman directory in the copied files.
