If you don't have a custom member adaptor, they are stored as part of
the Python pickle that stores all the list information -
lists/listname/config.pck

Use the admin Membership Management...->Mass Subscription interface to
upload (or paste) a plain text file. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.044.htp>
for formats - one name<address> per line.
