      In the mailman/bin folder is a command line program that allows you 
to add members as digest.  Maybe it could be hacked to allow you to do no 
mail subs?  When I run bin/add_members -help I get:
------
Usage:
     add_members [options] listname

Options:

     --regular-members-file=file
     -r file
         A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one
         address per line.  This list of people become non-digest
         members.  If file is `-', read addresses from stdin.  Note that
         -n/--non-digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this option.

     --digest-members-file=file
     -d file
         Similar to above, but these people become digest members.

      So what is needed is a --no-mail option.  But the coding is way 
beyond me - sorry.
