Confusing definition of "subscribers"

In /lists/, it prompts that "Only lists that you are owner,moderator or subscriber for are shown here", but I see a list which I was only sent a email to or has not request a subscription.
Also in /accounts/subscriptions/, that list appears as "nonmember", but not in the "list-based preferences".
So what's the definition of subscribers? Is it defined as who has interaction with the list?

Help me out in this line. You said that you are not a member of that list but you are able to send a mail? Any pointers or references on how this is possible?

Some lists, like a tech support list may allow non-members to post to it to contact the 'team', and the list subscribers are the support team to handle the messages. This is a different model than discussion lists
