The tool for this is mailman's bin/config_list which can both esport and
import list configuration but not list membership.

As Brian notes, the email `who` command can be ysed to extract list
membership as can the command line bin/list_members, and either of these
lists can be used as input to bin/add_members or the admin Mass
Subscribe function, but these operations do not preserve user options,
passwords, etc.
The one single way to move everything is to obtain a copy of Mailman's
lists/<listname>/config.pck file and move it, and maybe also get the
lists archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file and use it
to rebuild the archive.

for more info.
All the above assumes the new domain is on a different server. If it is
just a different virtual domain on the same server, see
