Apparently you didn't search the archives hard enough. There are a couple of ways to do this. First you should edit your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file so that the defaults for a new lists match those of your standard install. That will actually do just about everything you want.
Alternately, you can use ~mailman/bin/config_list to dump out a list configuration to a text file. Edit the file so that it contains the standards you want for your lists (delete any fields that aren't part of your standard). Now you can upload the file to any other list and it will set the configurations. There is quite a long exchange in the Archives about doing just this sort of thing. Folks have used the process to setup "templates" for lists. There was even talk of setting up a library of "templates" for folks to download ready-made list types.
