If it's only a single specific message you want to make sure has gone out, and you're not worried about the general problem, then the answer is to watch the logs, as was suggested by someone else.
When Mailman says that it's done processing that message, then you can change the subscriber list whenever you want, with the risks you're already aware of regarding what may or may not happen with the other messages that have come in during the meanwhile.
