I actually set this up in cron for a weekly back of all my lists.
0 0 * * 0 /usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members listname | mail email@here.com
This will run every Sunday night.
Hope this helps.

Observation...
This (output of subscriber lists) is requested so frequently I wonder if in a future version the Mailman interface could be set up to generate this list for list administrators; I know the Mailman paradigm is concentrated on Web access, but most of us working with other lists really, really miss that "review" feature. It's a) Armageddon backup (something terrible happens to the host, but you still have your most valuable information--the list of subscribers), and b) a fairly efficient workaround for a feature not implemented in 2.0 (searchable member archives). The only catch is that it is predicated on access to <mailmaninstalldir>.
(I put in a separate request to the host of our lists asking if they would create a script we could run from our own Web interface.)

Karen,
Have you tried the "who" command?
Usage:
who password See everyone who is on this mailing list. The roster is limited to list administrators and moderators only; you must supply the list admin or moderator password to retrieve the roster.

Comparing the big5/ and en/ options.html (but only being able to read the English text) I got the impression that the placeholders you are asking about are present in the big5 and gb language options.html template in error. Maybe someone with a knowledge of the relevant language can check this idea out.

Another subscriber pointed out that the email-enabled "who" command exports this quite nicely.
I still think this could make a great Web functionality (not unlike getting immediate and/or daily notices of new subscribers), but he was right--it functioned just as advertised. Don't know if all Mailman hosters support the who command, but it does work on Dreamhost.
