You can do it with either bin/config_list or bin/withlist. Using
config_list is probably easier.

The output of bin/dumpdb contains

    'language': {   'u1 at example.com': 'l1',
                    'u2 at example.com': 'l2',
                     ...
                    'un at example.com': 'ln'},

assuming you have edited this to

    'language': {   'u1 at example.com': 'll',
                    'u2 at example.com': 'll',
                     ...
                    'un at example.com': 'll'},

Edit it further to

mlist.language = {   'u1 at example.com': 'll',
                    'u2 at example.com': 'll',
                     ...
                    'un at example.com': 'll'},

and use it as the input to

bin/config_list -i input listname

See "bin/config_list --help".
