Only if the admin knows the user's list password. If so, the admin can
send the command

unsubscribe users_password address=u...@example.com

to the list's -request address, but it must be the user's list password.
No other password will work.

A possible alternative is to set the list's Privacy options... ->
Subscription rules -> unsubscribe_policy to yes and send

unsubscribe address=u...@example.com

to the list's -request address. This will result in the unsubscribe (all
unsubscribes) being held for admin approval, but the admin can't approve
the held unsubscribe by email, so tha probably won't help.

You could consider patching Mailman/Commands/cmd_unsubscribe.py to
accept the list admin password or some other secret as an alternate to
the user's password. I think that's the only way.
