It's a shame. The value of the reminder was not the password, but a
confirmation that I was still subscribed to the lists that I thought that I
was subscribed to, and had not been unsubscribed due to some dark art of the
mailing list processes - which has happened to me on more than one occasion.
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/options/ietf includes an option labeled
"Get password reminder email for this list?". So, it looks like the
admins have not fully disabled it. Have you tried enabling that as an
individual? Maybe they've disabled the cron job that actually does
the sending, though, or some other admin method that doesn't remove
the interface.
Alternately, perhaps the list management software could send a simple
heartbeat instead. AFAIK mailman doesn't have such a feature, but you
could send in a patch and see if the project will accept it....
