I'm not involved with Gate organisations, but you should direct your
concerns to Mailman rather than Gate:
    https://www.list.org/

That said, I believe that mailman has a setting in the admin interface
about whether or not to send monthly password reminders, with the
default being set to ON.
The list admin should thus be able to switch those notifications off.
But emails will likely continue to be stored in plain text on the
server unless you complain loud enough or send a suitable patch to
Mailman.
