Finally, after discovering this thread, I added /members/ to the
create_all endpoint and was able to add 98 members to a list. As
twitter would say, 'Yay'...

I filed a bug to have the documentation corrected.

Are there still problems adding lots of members, as reported earlier
in this thread? Since rate-limiting as listed as false in the doc,
would it be more reliable to just loop over :user/:list_id/members 100
times? I need to go for "reliable" wherever possible... That way we
could add up to the 500 members maximum. Recommended or not really?

Thanks
-Ken
