Which makes little sense at all. You put your email address into the
webinterface to get a confirmation request over mail. Why anyone would
use a webinterface to deal with mailinglists anyway is beyond me.

A webinterface like this can be implemented by simple input boxes. Like
we did here

But thats purely optional for the little amount of mailinglist users
that want to have a webinterface.

Sure. Sourceforge as well. Now go talk to them how heavily they had to
hack mailman to get a service as good as qmail+ezmlm/postfix+mlmmj can
provide :)
