could you define 'nicely formatted'? 

Is the formatting something that Data::Table (or its Python equiv?)
could be used for, or perhaps tr(1), awk, or sed could 'handle'?

(I've not used Mark's mailman-subscribers.py; I'd have included a few
sample out-put lines, for those not au fait with it (and too lazy to
fetch/review/run it)).
