Hello all,
following this bug:
reset list admin password working?
http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109296
I finally got a chance to dig into the mailing list interface
(and learned how it works for the first time).
Mailing list password-reset should work now.
There were two problems:
1. The cronjob mgt0:/opt/savannah/bin/sv_mailman used hard-coded path
to scripts which did not exist.
2. The script which did exist in different path
(mgt0:/opt/savannah/sbin/change_pw)
was a no-op stub.
I fixed it by implementing 'change_pw' and creating symlinks from the
hard-coded paths
to /opt/savannah/sbin (I know, the Right Thing would be to fix 'sv_mailman' and
remove the hard-coded paths, but I didn't get to it yet).
I also documented all I learned here:

comments welcome,
