What you quote above is from the __refuse() method which is only used
internally within ListAdmin to process moderator rejections of posts
and (un)subscribes.

Messages which are rejected by a Handler because of things like a match
in reject_these_nonmembers or member_moderation_action or
generic_nonmember_action set to refuse are processed by the
BounceMessage() method in Mailman/Bouncer.py and as you've observed,
it sets the subject of the notice to the subject of the rejected
message.

If you want, you can replace

        subject = msg.get('subject', _('(no subject)'))

in the definition of BounceMessage() with the two lines

        realname = self.real_name
        subject = _('Request to mailing list %(realname)s rejected')
