Some largish operators use CAPTCHAs:

  <https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list>

But wouldn't any replacement that allows email notification have
exactly the same signup issue?  Sure, you might only have one pending
signup request per email instead per list, but if the bots are
actually targeting innocent users, for most recipients, they can just
use multiple aliases of the form <mailbo...@example.com>,
<mailbo...@example.com>, and so on.
