I've done a lot of this for various clients (it's the fun part of the job). It's very easy to use the command-line tools provided by mailman to add/remove users auto-magically in the background. So rather than send an email request to the Mailman-list, send it to some cron-job running on the back-end that will execute the command using the Mailman command line tools - or send it to some pseudo-daemon that monitors a mailbox on the Mailman system. You can use any method you like for transporting those commands around - just be sure to put in some form of authentication (even if it's your own built-in authentication).
