When I did the move from majordomo to mailman I did it manually for each 
list (10).

a) Send a message to the old majordomo-list that during the next minutes 
the mailinglist-software will change and posts to the llist will bounce 
between ... and ... aprox.

b) Stop majordomo (delete the /etc/aliases-entry)

c) Set up and configure the new mailinglist in mailman, 
edit /etc/aliases but set a # in front of the aliases for now.

c) Mass subscribe the majordomo-members in mailman with notifiers to the 
people.

d) Copy the mbox of the majordomo-list to the correct place of the 
mailman-mbox

e) Rebuilt the HTML-Archive with "arch"
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp
More help is available with arch --help on the commandline.

f) Edit the /etc/aliases and take away the # infront of the 
mailman-aliases.

g) Send a post to the new mailman-list.

Done ...

bis dahin/kind regards
