I hope that we can address this through two new "features".  First,  
you'll be able to associate multiple email addresses with your  
account, and if one starts bouncing, Mailman can just flip over to the  
next enabled one on your list.  Second, you'll be able to get password  
resets (not reminders -- the passwords will now be encrypted!) just  
like for every other site you're on.  Of course, I also plan to  
support OpenID so you won't have to remember a bazillion passwords.

There is the case where you just don't remember you're on a mailing  
list until it's too late (i.e. your old email has expired).  Once you  
remember this, you should be able to log into your account, e.g. via  
OpenID, and associate a new email address with it, then verify it and  
get your deliveries working again.
