Subject: [Tools-discuss] generated passwords for lists

I went to unsubscribe from a list.
Actually, I just set the mail delivery option to no, since I might read it
via IMAP.  I looked for my password in my "welcome to list" folder,
and found it.

Surprisingly, my password was the name of the ML.
I looked a few others, and it was also the case.

I usually don't pick a password when subscribing, because mailman will
generate a good one for me.  In this case, it doesn't seem to.

These are for two lists that I subscribed to in April 2016.
A list that I subscribe to in July 2016 seems to have a random password.
So maybe something was broken and got fixed...
