The easiest way is to install Mailman somewhere and then use the  
list_members tool.

Alternatively, you could recover the subscriber email addresses  
fairly easily just by using Python on your local computer to open the  
pickled copy of the list configuration.  Something like (meaning,  
untested mail client code :-):

import cPickle
m = cPickle.load(open('config.pck', 'rb'))
for member in m['members']:
     print member
for digestmember in m['digest_members']:
     print digestmember
