How much difference in eficiency is there, between runnig dumpdb vs. using python code to only get a list's password? I know dumpdb is doing more (because it dumps the entire pck), but is it going to be enough to matter?
I don't think it's enough to worry about. If anything, bin/dumpdb does less work to read the config.pck and unpickle the list object than any Mailman process which actually instantiates the list. In return, it does extra to format and print the output, but I don't think there will be enough difference to matter.
