The list attribute that controls this is admin_member_chunksize which
is set from DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE when the list is created.

It appears that bin/config_list is unaware of this attribute and there
is also no way to set it through the list admin gui. I.e. the list's
value for this attribute is whatever DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE
was when the list was created. After that, it seems you need to use
bin/withlist to change it.

[gpc_mailman at clint mailman]$ bin/withlist -l test_2
Loading list test_2 (locked)
The variable `m' is the test_2 MailList instance
>>> m.admin_member_chunksize
30
>>> m.admin_member_chunksize = 500
>>> m.Save()
>>>                           <- control-D
Unlocking (but not saving) list: test_2
Finalizing
[gpc_mailman at clint mailman]$
