Or you can have a site or domain specific templates which are not 
changed by upgrading. The template use hierarchy is (from the comments 
in $prefix/Mailman/Utils for the findtext() function for MM 2.1.3):

     # When looking for a template in a specific language, there are 4 
places
     # that are searched, in this order:
     #
     # 1. the list-specific language directory
     #    lists/<listname>/<language>
     #
     # 2. the domain-specific language directory
     #    templates/<list.host_name>/<language>
     #
     # 3. the site-wide language directory
     #    templates/site/<language>
     #
     # 4. the global default language directory
     #    templates/<language>

Do not forget that much of your list administration is most 
conveniently done through the web admin GUI. Manipulating your web 
server's httpd.conf can be used to restrict access to all or part of 
the Mailman web interface; in the extreme do not run a web server or 
make no changes to httpd.conf to allow access.
