Yes Casey, we have no access to the list Administrator and we require the ability to manage the official list where mainly member discussions will be taking place. We're up to about 23 members now and are looking for a members managed list. Additionally, we are transitioning from being a chapter in planning to an operating chapter.
Well, I am not sure I approve of the change either. While I would understand that you are moving to a self hosted mailing list (some chapters have done that), moving away to Google groups makes things much more complicated for Wikimedians who would specifically be looking for this list through Wikimedia mailman lists to find you altogether.
Also, as Casey said, the password thing really is a non issue, it would have taken asking Nicholas for one, and any of us Wikimedians, to fond out how to retrieve the password and add the desired administrators on this list. Which is not the case any more if the same problems occurs and you are on a google mailing list.
I such, I would formally ask you to reconsider this change. I'd be happy to assist in making sure the passowrd is handed to you in due time.
Cheers,
Delphine
