Any way users can unsubscribe without a password?

I would like to put Mailman to use in an organization I'm doing some work for *however* there is too much resistance to the idea of requiring users to provide a password to unsubscribe.
Does Mailman have an option to not require a password for the purposes of unsubscribing?
Are there any unofficial patches to change the code in Mailman (presumably some Python file) to facilitate this functionality?
Thanks, -M

Will this do what you want?

One change have been applied to mailman to support this subject, so if user does not provide the password, the mailing list server will send a confirmation message.

This change have been applied first of April, so it is in CVS and not in an official tarball.
