Yes, and thanks.
Hopping to be able to give the lists some more attention soon, but I've been relatively buried in other stuff the past few weeks or so.
Did notice you changed the default on monthly password reminder to no ... was hoping I'd get to resetting users on that to no before this month's reminder ... alas, didn't get to that in time, but hoping/expecting I'll probably get that wiggled in soon. I've got earlier notes on the bit in the Python Pickle files, and also have programs I used for dump/restore of user options (all but password) when earlier doing list migrations ... and may just tweak some of that code to turn the password reminder off on all the users - at least for the shorter term, if not indefinitely (and probably note which ones then got their preference flipped, in case there's ever need/reason to reverse that).

My, I _did_ do a bit of cleanup, didn't I?

Yes, indeed I didn't change the "Get password reminder email for this list?" toggle for any existing user, just (as you say) for new prospective users -- the latter by setting "Send monthly password reminders?" (send_reminders, General options) to "no" on all four lists, instead of the default yes.

If memory serves, the way you massage individual subscribers' options from the command line is using /var/lib/mailman/bin/withlist , where you need to tell withlist to follow a very Python-ey instruction script.
_However_, the wording on https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20turn%20off%20passwords%20completely... suggests that frobbing off "Get password reminder email for this list?" in the per-list admin WebUI causes _nobody_ to receive password reminders.
I actually didn't notice whether I got password reminders from lists.balug.org, yesterday, or not.
BTW, that some page says that password reminders can be disabled _sitewide_ by the siteadmin, by simply removing /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds .

Thank you for the gentle reminder. I will attend to that, as to my bits.
