The math was way off, the point wasn't. Most mail lists have unsubscribe

What is exactly, "the problem" and what do you propose to fix it?
I dont see anything different in the way this mailing list works
compared with others.
At the least, a link to an unsubscribe web page with a place to enter
the address to be subscribed.
The OO list is one of the few I subscribe to that doesn't have that feature.
No one can help users who cannot READ the automatic notification they
get after requesting to unsubscribe. Without this
verification/clicking step, anybody could unsubscribe anybody else
from the list. That's the way mailing lists work.
It could be that phoney sites, offering OO with "support", subscribe people.
To me the problem seems to be people who join a mailing list without
knowing what a mailing list is or how it works. Tha's why I suggested
we make it clear on the subcription page that a mailing list involves,
gee, receiving questions and answers from lots of stranges, to your
email inbox. I even proposed changing the wording from "mailing list"
to "discussion list"
With enough force, round pegs will go in square holes, but it might be
better to make it so common people
can unsubscribe, without taking a class.
