This is documented both on the lists webpage, and in the FAQ:
4. Argh! What's this about a password?
The new mailing list software uses passwords to make sure that you
are you, and your prankster best friend who thinks that
unsubscribing you would be funny, is not.
You can retrieve your password using the Mailman [25]web
interface. In the "Slug Subscribers" section, type in your email
address and hit the "Edit Options" button; you will be able to
retrieve it there. You can't do this via email.
