On the web interface, the closest we get is the "Membership Management" section. If you have more users on the list than a certain built-in site-wide default, then this will be broken down by the first letter of their e-mail address.
*nods* Which requires a "screen scrape" to get a copy of membership of the mailing list in text form.
(Apologies if it does already exist as an option I simply haven't noticed it)
For lists with hundreds of thousands of subscribers (and yes, there are some Mailman lists that large), putting all this on a single web page wouldn't be very feasible. For smaller lists, I can see the value.
Yahoo groups for example has this feature for moderators (members-download). It would be especially handy for mailman managers who don't have access to the command line (for example, due to restrictions on their hosting service)
If you check the Mailman RFE (Request for Feature Enhancement) page at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=350103>, I imagine that you should see a request from someone else for precisely this option.
Thanks for that.
All the best,
