It's stored in the list's config.db database, or in the live MailList
object on the `password' attribute:

% python -i bin/withlist stage
Loading list: stage (unlocked)
>>> m.password
'NO88Mo9aSdsyc'


Note that the password is crypt()d (usually, unless your Python
doesn't have the crypt module, in which case it's md5'd).
