We don't want to make this process too easy.  That would make it trivial to 
abuse Mailman into a spamming tool, and I think that's something we actively 
want to avoid.

You can always use the "mass subscribe" feature, and just subscribe the 
users without inviting them.  Of course, then you are getting a lot closer 
to that line where you're spamming those people as opposed to doing a proper 
double-opt-in mailing list.
