The former is your personal password, associated with your userid. The
latter is the list password, associated with the list.

Either password is acceptable. Just use your personal password all the
time.
>What is the function of each of these passwords?
Think about the case of peered lists where each of the peers has a
different set of multiple owners. Consider the fact that each of these
owners probably owns several such peered lists.

No, you need any acceptable password, and acceptable passwords include
your personal password.
