Yes, I was of the opinion that it could be an optional feature. Making it compulsory would involve critical problems as mentioned above by Christian, and might sometimes be disagreeable to list users who think its an unnecessary overhead of time.
I was mostly basing this idea on the lines that it is easy to put in a spam subscription request to the mailing lists now. Implementing captcha could nip most of these attempts in the bud itself, and save mailman the extra efforts of sending the confirmation link to the subscriber. Thanks.
