It does?? As you described it, he can let passwordmaker choose his password. But he says he can't do that. Or he can specify the whole password as the prefix, which is insecure. And AIUI that's not acceptable to him either, as far as I can see he's very concerned about security. So what's the third option that is both secure and allows use of the current password?
Entering the password from memory?
This isn't a limitation of passwordmaker or any other password program... it is a limitation imposed by the (as far as I understand it, but I may be missing something too) use case.
As far as I know there is no program that is capable of reading minds and/or intuiting what password should be used based solely on what someone knows in their head.
That said, there is actually a more secure option...
passwordmaker has the ability to encrypt the password that is stored, if the form allows it, which I'm fairly certain mailman's login forms do - let me check - yep...
So, the only other option that I can offer would be to create a custom account for the login page in passwordmaker, then add the password field, username and password fields to the 'Advanced Auto-Populate' fields as described here:

As far as I can see, you're just saying the requirements are stupid.
No, just trying to help is all... :)
