I think a random password is assigned to each subscriber when you
mass-subscribe. The passwords are sent to the subscribers in the monthly
password reminders, so you could just run whatever is in the mailman
crontab; probably something like:

python /usr/local/mailman/cron/mailpasswds

- this would mail all subscribers their passwords.
