That's correct, and that's usually the problem. There is more than one way
to do this with Mailman, but on a mailing list, it means that any user
could unsubscribe any other user.

We usually see these one-click unsubscribe buttons on marketing newsletters
and similar correspondence, but they don't seem to be a good option for a
mailing list. (At least, I haven't figured out how to make it work in a way
that would fit with the needs of a mailing list.)
