As you suggest, technically easy. But would it be desirable?

There's already been quite a long notice period, and evidently people 
haven't switched over -- providing a "temporary" forwarding facility 
would only prolong the agony, as I reckon a goodly number of people will 
switch when and only when they're forced to, and not before. I'd rather 
see an autoreply from the old list address asking people to resubscribe.

Maybe there's some doubt in some people's minds as to which is the 
better list to get a needed answer from, so they stick to the tried and 
trusted. Besides, I could name at least one sufferer of 'chronic 
novophobia' :-)
