There's an easy way to rename a list and there's a hard way.  The hard
way is documented in the FAQ - please search http://www.list.org first.

The easy way can be used if you don't have any archives and don't care
about providing a way for your user community to access the list by the
old name.  Simply create the new list, export the configuration of the
old list, import that into the new list, and then list the members of
the old list and add that to the new.  That works fairly well for
announcement-style only lists with no archives.
