We also hoped that we would be able to make the setting a
per-subscriber option. However, this turned out to not be possible in
Mailman.

This is correct, but from a pure technical viewpoint this will be easier
to solve with the new version of mailman 3 (which is a groundbreaking
rewrite of mailman) and much more transparent to extend or modify in
functionality if "required".

Mailman 3 cannot do password reminders at all - it doesn't store
passwords in cleartext.  Hooray! at long last.
