I have no idea if they will be automatically transitioned.  I supposed that 
depends on someone with admin access to x.org giving Mike A. Harris the 
subscriber list for the old lists.

You can subscribe yourself to the new lists here:

http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-arch
http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-foundation

My main reason for objecting to the continued existance of the old lists is:

- They are not being used for their stated purpose; people are posting tech
  support questions to xorg_arch, which is not a tech support list.
- They are not the appropriate and/or officially sanctioned list for their 
  stated purpose anymore, and haven't been for two months.
