If you're looking for a text file with addresses in it, there is no such
thing.  Subscription data is stored in the list config, which is a Python
marshal file, IIRC (if you're not a Python person, this is a sort of hash
file).

In any case, you can get this info in text form with bin/list_members.

Scripts exist to modify subscription lists; see

   bin/list_members
   bin/remove_members
   bin/add_members
