Using withlist, it would be pretty easy to write; the passwords
are stored in a simple array indexed by username.

Of course you have to know a little bit of Python.  If you're
desperate I'll hack something up for you.  Meanwhile here's the
snippet I have lying around to dump them; stick it in ~mailman
and invoke bin/withlist -r pws.pws <listname>


import sys

fmt = "%-40s\t%s"
def pws(list):

   for member in list.members.keys():
      print fmt % (member, list.passwords[member])

   for member in list.digest_members.keys():
      print fmt % (member, list.passwords[member])

   sys.exit(0)



vvv kind of a long .sig, isn't it?....
