I think its rather worse than that against (at least) 2.1.5.  Mailman
refuses to touch any of the old list sets because they are missing
certain required keys in the list data - related to topics from what I
remember.

Someone with better python skills than I (probably the majority of
people here) could have fixed up the list structure from the bit of code
that exploded, but I found pretty much all the mailman tools just
exploded when they saw the list data.  I guess the upgrade code in
versions.py can't handle that particular shift anymore.
