So in the future that may be implemented in the v2.1.x family? If so that would be a good thing and I may be able to live with a few requests until then.
Will that be a situation like send a message with a certain "code" in it and owners get a confirmation email with a link to follow? Similar to self service joining of a list to prevent abuse.

In MM 2.1.x list owner/moderator passwords, as opposed to the list member password for the owner if the owner is a list member (not required), are kept in encrypted form and are not retrievable as plain text, thus a reminder is not possible. A 'reset' function with a dialog with the owner/moderator email address(es) is possible, but such a thing has not been implemented.
