[Mailman-Users] Can I enforce secure admin passwords?

I am concerned that list owners can put insecure admin passwords on 
their lists. My testing suggests that short passwords are accepted as 
well as alpha-only. The only control I have found is the length of 
admin passwords generated by Mailman. I have not located anything 
else that would enforce even minimal password security.

Am I missing something here?
