To the best of my knowledge, we've only renamed one mailing list on
our listserv: as an upshot of the board transparency working group,
board of directors discussion was moved from a private list to a
public one but the existing private list was renamed so that the new
public list could usurp the original name making it less likely
board members continued to post to the wrong (private) list.

All that is to say, mailing list renaming is disruptive and
undertaken as an extremely unusual case. What is the need your group
has to switch the E-mail address of the list? Is it purely cosmetic,
or is there some unmentioned problem it's assumed to solve (in which
case we should discuss other options to solve whatever that problem
is first before resorting to a list rename).
