I did this in Vagrant just to keep everything separate. You need a script and the unsupported mailman2lsv tool from lsoft.

vagrant up
cd /vagrant/
chmod +x sympa2mbox.py
sympa2mbox.py [archive directory] > archive.mbox

Edit mailman2lsv/mbox2lsv.pl. Create a file (lists_to_migrate.txt) with the archive you're wanting to migrate. Then edit $lpdir to the current directory where the .mbox file is located.
$lpdir = "/vagrant/";

This generates a new directory, output that contains the files for listserv.

  
## sympa2mbox.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys

basedir = sys.argv[1]

for month in sorted(os.listdir(basedir)):
    print(month)
    if os.path.exists(os.path.join(basedir, month)):
        for msg_id in sorted(map(int, os.listdir(os.path.join(basedir, month)))):

            fh = open(os.path.join(basedir, month, str(msg_id)), "r")

            sys.stdout.write("From nobody Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970\n")
            last_line = None
            for line in fh:
                last_line = line
                if line.startswith("From "):
                    sys.stdout.write(">")
                sys.stdout.write(line)

            if last_line is not None:
                if not last_line.endswith("\n"):
                    sys.stderr.write("adding newline")
                    sys.stdout.write("\n")

            sys.stderr.flush()
            sys.stdout.flush()
