The list is defined in the module Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py by the
statement

    template_data = (
        ('listinfo.html',    _('General list information page')),
        ('subscribe.html',   _('Subscribe results page')),
        ('options.html',     _('User specific options page')),
        ('subscribeack.txt', _('Welcome email text file')),
        ('masthead.txt',     _('Digest masthead')),
        )


You can add any list specific templates you want to this list
(actually, a Python tuple of tuples, not a Python list), just as

        ('masthead.txt',     _('Digest masthead')),

was added for Mailman 2.1.15. Note that you can actually add any
template to this list, but edited templates such as cronpass.txt which
are not used in a list context will not be used.
