I think the OP wants to go the other way.

I'm not sure what's available on the WordPress side, but a Mailman
withlist script (see bin/withlist --help) along the lines of

def get_addr_pw(mlist):
    for member in mlist.getMembers():
        em = mlist.getMemberCPAddresses(member)
        pw = mlist.getMemberPassword(member)
        rn = mlist.getMemberName(member)
        print '"%s" <%s>; %s' % (rn, em, pw)

will print name, address and password in the form

"Joe Cool" <jcool at example.com>; jcpasswd

for each member. If you have (or install) the MySQL-python package, you
could probably update the WordPress user database directly in the same
script.
