Assuming you're not concerned about losing possible other request like subscription approvals, etc. you can try just moving requests.pck out of the lists/listname/ directory. You may have to do the same with pending.pck. Mailman will create new 'empty' ones when you go to the admindb page.
Subscriptions aren't moderated, so no big deal. However, I noticed that posting to the list seems to have stopped working since I removed all those files. Is this a side-effect of "corrupting" the pending.pck and/or config.pck files And would removing them to create new empty ones "fix" this problem?
It looks like a bunch of messages in the meantime have popped up in the mailman/data directory; presumably some of them are posts from subscribers that didn't make it out to the list ? Any idea on how to fix this?
(I'm still wondering why I didn't shoot myself in the foot the last time I did this).
