Two of the old lists were exactly replaced by new lists. The other two old lists (help- and -discuss) were essentially merged to create the -user list.

In the GMP -> LilyPond list change, I do not believe that the archives were migrated. I'm not an administrator of the list server or of the Savannah server so I cannot guess what you will or will not be able to get the server admins to change. -- David R.
