WordPress (WP) users have email addresses. It's relatively trivial to
extract those addresses, and, say, feed them through to
sync_members(8)...
Pulling in the name (if that's your fancy) could also be done quite
easily.
As for passwords, I'd not do this, at all; particularly if you've not
zapped the password-reminders crontab.
You'd also, presumably need to unsalt the password-hash stored in WP.
I'd just generate a random password for Mailman. It's trivial
(although, quite how so many failo…) to receive a password reminder,
after all.
(Maybe add in a 'Mailman password' field into the WP users' table, and
in the user's settings pages, and feed that to Mailman?)

I'd say:
email addresses: yes
names: yes
passwords: no, and you shouldn't.
How's that?
