The best way to bulk modify a configuration variable is with
bin/withlist, which in MM2.1 can operate on more than one list.

This is only an issue if you've added list-specific customizations of
the template files. If you're using the stock templates, everything
will just work.

Nope. They get auto-upgraded.

Depends on the default. ;) MM2.1 uses the same mm_cfg.py config file.

That's all handled by the MTA variable in mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py which
names a module inside Mailman/MTA to glue Mailman to your mail server.
You might want to hack makealiases() in Mailman/MTA/Utils.py

Sure thing!
