Why do you think you need to change it in the web UI???? That thinking is
absolutely unnecessary since the listname as it appears to you does not
affect you in any way! Read my lips ;-)

You have the site password, even the CLI access to it. This is shallow but
I'd just share the same password with them. If they change it, I can use the
CLI to manage the list, no?
