I do this via synchronisation. A script that calls
add_member/remove_member called from the code that does the
INSERT/DELETE query in SQL. It's not particularly robust but it works.

Ideally having an external DB for Mailman would solve many a problem for
me, since I have 12000 subscribers in one DB for web access to certain
"member" parts of a website, and a synchronisation with Mailman's
internal DB for the list membership.

Now, it's not 100% critical if someone unsubscribes on the web but
doesn't get removed from the mailing list, but if Mailman could just
sync with the SQL DB that would be ideal.

I don't know if this is fully possible, but I know each list can have
it's own language preference so I guess there are other parameters each
list can have uniquely.
