If you can call scripts when actions occur on the mailing list (e.g.
new subscriber added, user unsubscribes, user details updated, etc),
then you could write a Python script to generate static HTML at that
point. It would probably be less hassle than creating a dynamic web
page.

So then all you have to do is loop through your records and write the
resultant HTML to a file that the web server can read.
