You could use a simple bin/withlist script such as

def get_passwords(mlist):
    for member in mlist.getMembers():
        print '%s - %s' % (member, mlist.getMemberPassword(member))

Save that as bin/get_passwords.py and run

 bin/withlist -r get_passwords listname > /path/to/password/list

Alternatively, you could just use bin/dumpdb to dump the list's
config.pck and extract the passwords information from the output.
