First of all, see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp
for information on where to store an edited version of subscribe.html
to be used by a single list.

As to the other part of your question, the replacements for the <MM-*>
tags that appear in various templates are defined in the module
Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py. In particular, <MM-List-Name> is defined as
the value of the real_name attribute of the list which is just the
case-preserved list name. The <MM-Mailman-Footer> tag generates the
HTML for the web page footer that looks like

-------------------------------------------------
listname list run by owner at example.com
listname administrative interface (requires authorization)
Overview of all example.com mailing lists

Delivered by Mailman
version 2.1.5 	Python Powered 	Gnu's Not Unix
--------------------------------------------------

If you want to change this footer on one list-specific version of the
template, just remove the <MM-Mailman-Footer> tag from the template
and replace it with whatever HTML you want.
