Here's what I have:

- A couple of scripts in PHP for automatic subscribe/unsubscribe on web
  pages, without the whole confirmation / password thing (you can use
  them on a site that isn't even hosted on the same machine as Mailman
  if you use a bit of ncftpput/rsync to get the files up over to the
  Mailman machine)
- A couple of bash scripts to take the files generated by the PHP
  scripts and each night subscribe and unsubscribe those people in the
  list and report by email success / failure

However the list creation part I always do manually.

Let me know if the rest is any use to you...
