As has been stated, it would be relatively easy to hack on a "change 
email address to" box to the per-user mailman options set.

However when the victim has put their new address in, what happens then?
  - Does mail just get blindly sent to the new address which
    they hopefully typed in right
  - Are they effectively unsubscribed until they have received and 
returned
    a confirmation message?
  - Howabout if its a moderator approved subscription process?

In all of these cases the user can lose mail unexpectedly... where as 
an explicit unsub/sub (in whatever order you wish - I sub, check its OK 
then unsub old) has very specific known behaviour.
