for a customer of ours we wrote a small application (in vbscript/ asp, as the customer is on an NT-box for now) to present the user with a subscription-form (asking for e-mail-address and some personal data) of our own (so we by-pass the mailman subscription interface entirely).
all input is stored in a database (for crm-purposes) and the e-mail-address is added to a simple text-file (maillistname_add or maillistname_remove) which is on a samba-share on the linux-server on which mailman resides (but you could just as well ftp those files over between the two servers on a regular basis).
the text-file is processed by a (cronned) shellscript that uses the add_members and remove_members mailman-commands to perform the actual subscription.. i'm sure there are easier ways, but this proved to be very flexible and extensible, without us having to change mailman's code.
(we previously even had the asp repost the e-mail-address to one of the pages inside the mailman administrative interface, but that did not prove to flexible .. ;-)
good luck!
