AFAIK, you need to set DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS.  To change the
default for concealing new members, you would subtract 16 from the
current setting (256 by default).  So, set

    DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS = 240

in mm_cfg.py and then all new lists will inherit this setting.  To
apply this to an existing list, I think you need a withlist script,
but I could be wrong (I don't know mailman that well and I've had more
than a few choice beverages so far tonight).

If you do find that a withlist script is required, as I did when
testing this, you might find the quickie I whipped up to be useful
(which I ripped off completely from fix_url.py).  I'll attach it, just
in case you want it.  The path to python might need adjusted, my local
mailman install is on a Red Hat 7.3 box, where python 2 is installed
as /usr/bin/python2.

This will change the setting to DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS.  If you
want to change a list to something else, pass the --options argument
to the script.  Note that there's absolutely no checking done on the
value you pass to this argument.

HTH (and more importantly, I hope it works),

"""Reset a list's new_member_options attribute to the default setting.

This script is intended to be run as a bin/withlist script, i.e.

Options:
    -o / --options
        Set new_member_options to the value given.  See the section on
	"Bitfield for user options" in Defaults.py for details.

        Without this option, the default web_page_url and host_name values

If run standalone, it prints this help text and exits.
