You're timing is impeccable! I just checked in a script called 'reset_pw' which was based on a contribution by Florien Weimer. This script is intended to be run under bin/withlist and can be used to reset the passwords for all the members of a list (or all members of all lists, using withlist's -a option). After you've reset the passwords, you'd want to run cron/mailpasswds manually to send out new reminders containing the new passwords. While the script has been checked into CVS, it hasn't undergone much testing, so caveat emptor (read: make backups first!). If you don't have CVS access and can't wait until Mailman 2.1.6, look here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/bin/?only_with_tag=Release_2_1-maint but remember that the SourceForge CVS delay means the script isn't visible yet.
