It doesn't look that way; although if the hosts will write a wrapper
to make clone_members/find_members available that may be a help.
I don't imagine you're the site-admin, either, for the lists.
That said, you might find the thread of which
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg41130.html
is a part, of interest.
I would suggest that, in the absence of these, you get the users to
bloody-well do their housekeeping themselves. Point them to the
options page, if necessary, pre-fill a URI with their email address,
so something like:
http://lists.example.org/mailman/options/listfoo/f...@example.com
where they can change their name, and see which other lists that email
address is a member of.
People asking me -- as listadmin -- to change their subscriptions usually
get something like
"mail me the request from both the old and new address so i know
it's not nefarious, or visit
<http://lists.example.org/help#swapsub>
for instructions on how to do it yourself."
That said, I'm grumpy, and miserable, and believe people should take
responsibility for themselves.
