The use case. If I'm changing an email address - eg moving jobs, I'll set up forwarding for a while, and change my subscriptions accordingly. If I don't get a message from a list before the old account is disabled, then I stop getting mail from that list. There must be other use cases.
I hope that we can address this through two new "features". First, you'll be able to associate multiple email addresses with your account, and if one starts bouncing, Mailman can just flip over to the next enabled one on your list. Second, you'll be able to get password resets (not reminders -- the passwords will now be encrypted!) just like for every other site you're on. Of course, I also plan to support OpenID so you won't have to remember a bazillion passwords.
There is the case where you just don't remember you're on a mailing list until it's too late (i.e. your old email has expired). Once you remember this, you should be able to log into your account, e.g. via OpenID, and associate a new email address with it, then verify it and get your deliveries working again.
