Ross's list seem to capture all the options for list migration.

* We have list moderators in place now

* openjena.org points to jena-users@, as does the documentation in the 
latest release.

Suggestion:

jena-devel@SF:

Send a message to jena-devel@SF to say discussions have moved.  People 
have probably already guessed we use jena-dev@ASF.

jena-dev@yahoo:

Send a message to say that jena-users@ASF is now open and see how it 
goes.  Move to a more direct policy at some point based on experience.

This attempts to reduce the admin before switching to more actively moving.

+1, works for me.

Incidentally, I didn't see Ross' original message (and it's not in my
spam folder, I checked).
