To set the list admin password you can use
password = 'value'
but value is a sha digest of the plain text password. In order to set
the plain text password, you would need the input to config_list to be
something like
from Mailman.Utils import sha_new
password = sha_new('new_password').hexdigest()
but this will only work with Mailman 2.1.12 and later. For older
mailman, this needs to be
import sha
password = sha.new('new_password').hexdigest()
but this will issue a deprecation warning with Python 2.6.x, but it
will work.
Or, you could just generate the sha digest of the plain text password
separately and set that value.
