Mailman saves all list configuration information as a Python pickle in
the file lists/<listname>/config.pck. If you are not using a custom
MemberAdaptor to store membership info in your own database, the
config.pck includes all the membership information (addresses,
options, passwords, bounce info, ...).

The default location of the lists/ directory is /usr/local/mailman/.
RedHat used to put everything in /var/mailman/, but their more recent
packages put the lists/ directory in /var/lib/mailman/, so I think you
are looking for /var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname>/config.pck. If you
don't find it there, use 'find / -name config.pck' to search for it.
