It's only code. It can be modified :)

Or perhaps you are asking what would need to be modified.

You could do most of it by editing the subscribe form on the listinfo 
template to remove the password specification section and the user 
specific options template to remove the password change section.

These edits can be done for a specific list via the list admin "Edit the 
public HTML pages and text files" link or more generally via the methods 
at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.

That would take care of most of it, but to be more complete, you would 
need to modify Mailman/Commands/cmd_subscribe to prevent setting a 
password with an email subscribe command.
