So far as I know, the config_list tool only captures those items 
which are stored in the Python pickle which contains what Mailman 
thinks of as the list configuration items.  This specifically does 
not include any customized HTML templates, or any other modifications 
which are not reflected in the Python pickle.

Not that I know of, at least not without making source-code level 
changes to the tool.

Not that I know of.

If you have privileged command-line access to the server in question, 
then you should be able to copy over customized HTML templates.

Other than that, I don't have any answers for you.  Perhaps one of 
the core Mailman developers will see your question and be able to 
give you a better response.
