Why does the "mailing list memberships reminder" send passwords in the
clear?
Because that's what Mailman does. Send code.
And that's acceptable to the IETF? You're kidding me, right?
I can't speak for the IETF, but I do note that the same password notices
have been going out on the first of every month for years. You just
noticed iit now?
And once again, if you think it should do something else, send code.
We're volunteers here. Assertions that it is very important for someone
else to do work that you're not prepared to do are rarely effective.
