Yes, the footer says clearly:

Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected]

So you send a message, to get the unsubscribe instructions. As you
said, there's a difference in the mailto-address for the "regular
mail" and the "digest" version of the mailing list.

The "no-mail" option exists for those people who follow the lists
through a news gateway like gmane. You need to be subscribed, to send
messages, but you'll get the replies through your newsreader. So
there's no need to send you the mails extra.

I don't know, if this possibility exists for the lists at
libreoffice.org. I am a moderator too, but I haven't come across
anything like it. I might ask on the moderators list, if this is
possible - if James isn't faster. :)

Sigrid
