Well, I don't know what they mean by theoretical. Stephen's post, which correctly mentioned MTA and web server logs which I had ignored in my reply, was right on target. Perhaps if you had a simple script that ran daily under cron that picked up new entries from the subscribe log, correlated them with MTA and web server logs and wrote sufficient information to a cumulative file would satisfy them. Or possibly you could require admin approval for subscribes and convince them that you will collect sufficient info before approving a subscription, although that would be a pain if there were many subscribes. > It just seems goofy, given that they allow us to use Mailman for a > discussion list, but not as an announcement list.

Yes, it is goofy, but they can set any policy they want for use of their service, no matter how irrational. What if you set your list up as a "discussion" list and just decide to moderate everyone and only allow posts with an Approved: <password> header and only give the password to one or a few people.
