I found out almost by accident that if you have edited the list info 
page, it is stored in an HTML file called listinfo.html under the 
list directory in a directory named for the default list language (I 
believe...)

So on my system (using the default mailman install location) for one 
of my lists, this file exists on the following path:

         /usr/local/mailman/lists/listname/en

The other files you can edit via the web interface are stored in the 
same place.

Those files are:

         options.html
         subscribe.html
         subscribeack.txt

It appears that the default versions for these live in the templates 
directory for the list default language. On my system:

         /usr/local/mailman/templates/en

I do not know for certain how this works for lists with multiple 
languages enabled. However, I suspect that a similar method is used 
and there is a sub-directory with the appropriate ISO language code 
under the lists/listname directory.

I also do not know if it would work if you put custom versions of any 
other template files in that sub-directory. It would be a nice way to 
do list-specific versions of templates if that does work.
