First you have to ask yourself if you really want to allow anyone to
unsubscribe anyone else without any verification. If this is a
discussion list, this is a really bad idea - e.g., usera doesn't like
a post from userb so usera unsubscribes userb. Even if it is an
announcement list, it may not be a good idea.

If you really want to do it, without any questions/confirmations,
you'll have to either invoke a mailman command line tool like
bin/remove_members from your web page or create your own CGI script.
If you don't have administrative access to your Mailman server, you
can't do it.
