you mean something like
http://server/mailman/options/mailinglist/ricardo--at--rixhq.nu ?
besides not being very convenient to do, i don't think it works w/o knowing
the users' password... as far as i can see there's no way telling you're
the admin and I doubt that admin password can override it.

actually I suggested this because I think that would make the member options
much more simple. Having a partial list of the members immediately is what
makes it cryptic IMHO.
My list has about 1700 members and navigating with the way it is not is
not very convenient (even if you get used to it) and I can't imagine how
it would be like for people with 10k lists :)
