This does bring up a question that another admin asked me.  Is there a
way that the site administrator can remove permission from list
administrators from changing some of the fields?  For instance I would
like to have a site policy that requires that Reply-To is never set to
the list.
That's what I use:
(Not perfect, but good enough)

chef:/var/local/mailman/bin/scripts# cat resetlistconfigs

if ! diff -q /var/tmp/tmp_mm_settings.before /var/tmp/tmp_mm_settings.after &>/dev/null; then
    echo "Fixing config of list $i"
    diff -u0 /var/tmp/tmp_mm_settings.before /var/tmp/tmp_mm_settings.after
fi
