I see in the administration pages a block to "mass add" new members to a list. These are added to the list immediately without any confirmation from the ones added.
Is there an "Invite" function I'm missing that would allow me to invite a list of emails to the list but would require those who want to accept the invitation to respond so they don't end up on a list they don't want?

This sounds like a great feature. I would be very interested in something like this.

Nope, there isn't. It's actually a useful feature, I've wanted it for sourceforge.net too, where I unfortunately can't let list admins mass subscribe anyone they want.
Considering how much time I've been spending on the mailman code these last 2 weeks, I could almost code this, but I also know Barry has to start saying no at some point and put mailman 2.1 into beta/feature freeze, and I already have one last patch I'm trying to get in :-)
What this means is that unless Barry steps up and says that he'd like the feature in 2.1, I may just code this as a patch a bit later and distribute it outside of mailman until the 2.2cvs tree opens.
