Multiple Mailing Lists

I have just installed mailman (pretty painless even for a non-sys-admin like me). It looks like it will work well.
Now I am looking for some hints on how I may manage multiple lists centrally. In other words I would like my users to have as painless as possible experience managing their subscriptions.
Here are a couple of questions:
ABOUT MMSITEPASS COMMAND What if my some odd chance a user selects the password set using the mmsitepass command? Will they be allowed to use that password? If so, they could in fact access anything ... right? Now with that in mind, what if I want to use the mmsitepass for various maintenance operations during a period of time and then remove it to tighten security. Can the password be revoked/removed and then re-invoked from time to time?
Is anyone using a single form to provide subscribe / unsubscribe requests to multiple lists?
Thanks,
Christopher

Yes, just remove or rename the data/adm.pw file when you want to revoke the site password.
