The decision to migrate or not migrate history is still in discussion, but (as mentioned elsethread) the subscriber lists will not be migrated for legal/privacy/disclosure reasons.

Regarding having the two lists in parallel, I personally agree, and encourage everybody to subscribe to the new list as soon as possible. We will announce when the Tigris list will start bouncing mail, which will probably be in the next couple of weeks[1]. The Tigris archives will still exist for a long time yet.
