I protects you from being subscribed when you never asked for it.  For
one it is easy to fake the sender when sending the subscription
request.  Also you can send a request to subscribe a different email
address by sending to list-subscribe-foo=example.org@host.  Thew
confirmation step ensures you can actually read messages sent to the
subscribed address and you really want to be subscribed - and are not
victim of somebody trying to fill your mailbox.
