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.
