Yes, that is a really nice feature.

When I add a new list via the CLI, I must enter a password and it is sent 
in the email to the list admin:

	The mailing list `cgilist' has just been created for you.
	The following is some basic information about your
	mailing list.

	Your mailing list password is:

	     XXXXXXXXX

The new list owner can change the password via the web page if that is 
easier for them. It would be easier for me to not have to ask for a 
password from the list admin for every list I create.
