As good as we're capable of :-)

It should be very straightforward to fork a script with command line
arguments for things like listname, email and password, and either
wait for the script to finish or let it go on its own.

The address change shouldn't be a problem because internally it is
actually an unsubscribe of the old address and a subscribe of the new
except that after subscribing the new, the options from the old are
applied to the new.
