WRT mailing the password in clear text .. how else would it mail it?
Mailman does not store any kind of encryption keys for email, and frankly, most people don't know how to use encrypted email. This list probably has a (much) higher percentage of people who would know how to use encrypted mail (ie, Linux users .. who are more computer literate than the average person). But, I don't think mailman has sending administrative mails to users encrypted as an option.
WRT this issue .. several hundred gmail accounts (and few other accounts) were disabled at a specific time today. We don't yet know exactly why this happened and before we mass reenable the accounts, we need to make sure it is not going to happen again.
Since so many of the mails are gmail.com accounts, this has to be something that gmail did today at 1530 GMT (when all the accounts were disabled) and the mails were sent).
We will try to figure out exactly what happened and get everything back to normal as soon as we can.
