I hope a general question about Mailman's features and future direction (along with some Sympa comparisons) are appropriate for this list.
The University of Oregon is migrating away from Majordomo. We decided on Sympa because Mailman sends passwords over email

Does anyone know a way around the emailed passwords issue in Mailman, clever hacks, certain plugins, or a timeline for Mailman 3's release?
You can stop the cronjob used to email reminders. With this you don't email them to the users, but they will still be saved in clear text in Mailman.
I've written a number of Django apps using my own LDAP module, so I was also wondering if folks think now is a mature-enough time to perhaps grab Mailman 3, its Django front-end, and hack together what I'm after? A final, random question: Mailman 3 is still in alpha, but is it stable given that it's almost been in alpha for 4 years?
Didn't test it yet, so no comment from me.
Kind regards, Christian Mack
