I would vote for merging them.  I don't see a real need to have the two separate
lists; we can discuss both Xen and KVM on the fedora-virt list with no problem.

I think the fact that fedora-xen has so many subscribers is historical, since
that was the first virtualization technology.  A polite note to fedora-xen
saying that the list is going away, and to re-subscribe to fedora-virt, would
probably work.  It's worked for other lists we've renamed/combined.
