This would require significant source modifications.

But they should get a welcome message with their password when they
subscribe, and they should get monthly password reminders, or if they
don't, they can request a reminder via the email 'password' command.

You could edit the list's welcome message to further emphasize that they
need their password to set options such as no mail and perhaps to
explain how to change their password.
