As I see it this a solution in search of a problem. An upgrade would be nice and if that changes the password handling so much the better. In the meantime though I do not see any thing critically wrong with the current system. I too belong to many Mailman lists and have never had a security issue.
neither have I, but sending plain text passwords out to everyone does seem like a bad idea -- and totally unnecessary.
Digging a bit deeper (and only a bit), I'm not sure that the "new" more secure password code had made it into a mailman release (despite it being blogged about 3 years ago...)
But it looks really easy to simply turn off the password reminders -- I suggest we do so.
