Using the web interface is only one of your options.  The 2.0.x
versions (and maybe the 2.1 beta versions as well) come with a
utility called (appropriately enough) "add_members".  Its a
command-line interface for doing -exactly- what you wish to do.
Look in bin in your Mailman installation directory.

(And while you are there, spend some time poking around.  Lots of
good stuff in there.)
