Yahoo acquired EGroups. EGroups had extensive tools and support for
people migrating their lists to EGroups along with their list archives.
As part of setting up the list you could send them your list archives in
almost any format ad all and they'd populate their archives with them.
Many used this to build off-site web archives for lists. I suspect that
the YahooGroups list-managers stuff is just an instance of this.
