I am new to this list. I am the admin of several mailman-based lists and I'd like to submit a RFE to be able to recover admin passwords (NOT subscriber passwords). I haven't seen this submitted as a bug or as an RFE in the Sourceforge site, and I see the RFEs there don't seem to be maintained/assigned. Where should I post this ?

Sourceforge is the place, but in this case, here will do. You can't retrieve list admin passwords by design because they are not stored anywhere except as a non-reversable hash.

If a list admin password is lost, a mailman site admin can use the site password to access the list's password page and set a new list password or can use the bin/change_pw script to set a new password for the list.

If the site password is lost, a site admin can set a new one with bin/mmsitepass.
