I don't think the password of the Gmane subscription to the Mailman list is important. >If I un subscribed them, then re-subscribed them, wouldn't I need to >get an email response from them to complete their re-subscription ? >Or is there some way, using CPanel, to subscribe someone without >needing to wait for any response from them ?

No. You have to be able to access the list configuration file with command-line tools. >>You can use >>something like Jim T's and my mailman-subscribers.py script[1] to >>screen scrape the web admin Membership List and make a .csv file of >>the membership together with those options except language that are on >>the Membership List pages, > >Thanks, I am using windows.

The script is not a screen scraper in that sense. It accesses the list's admin Membership Management... -> Membership List pages and parses them to get the data. Installing Python on your windows box is a piece of cake. You get the installer at <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/python-2.6.4.msi> and run it. Then you run the script in a command window. >>but restoring them is tedious.
