Fwd: Your confirmation is required to leave the Mailman-Developers mailing list
errr…. is this someone saying they would prefer I wasn’t on this list? I’d rather hear directly from someone if you feel that way.

Unlikely it's that. More likely, its because you've replied to posts without removing the msg_footer from the quoted material in your reply. See, e.g., <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2015-January/024152.html>.
Someone sees your post and thinks that's their unsubscribe link.
Be glad you didn't do what I once unthinkingly did at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2010-December/070723.html>. Every time Google, Bing, etc crawl that page, I get an unsub confirmation.

Should Mailman be stripping these out as part of its processing?

Why would it? There isn't anything special about the link that would tell mailman to do so.
Ideally, people would have signature separators that would cause the footer to be trimmed, but that isn't mailman's job. (like Mark's did for me).

It could try, but it wouldn't be 100% successful, and it would surely break DKIM signatures. A third-party add-on, sure. A Mailman feature, I'm -1 on that.

Right. I don't think it's a good idea for Mailman to attempt to strip body content by default, especially if it can't be sure that it will always get it correct. I do envision the ability for add-ons in Mailman 3, and that would be a route for folks to experiment with.
