Sourceforge is the place, but in this case, here will do. You can't
retrieve list admin passwords by design because they are not stored
anywhere except as a non-reversable hash.

If a list admin password is lost, a mailman site admin can use the site
password to access the list's password page and set a new list
password or can use the bin/change_pw script to set a new password for
the list.

If the site password is lost, a site admin can set a new one with
bin/mmsitepass.
