Yes, but only one address at a time.

You have to script it, but use bin/clone_member which will just change
the address without changing any other settings.

bin/clone_member --admin --remove old_addr new_addr

will change old_addr to new_addr on all lists including owner and
moderator addresses.

See bin/clone_member --help

You still have to script it to run the command once for each old/new
pair, but clone_member is the command to use.
