Disabled for unknown reasons means disabled pre Mailman 2.1.x.

Since delivery is disabled, the list is not mailing to this address, so
the address isn't currently bouncing except possibly for password
reminders which aren't often enough to score more than 1.0 as the
prior bounce is always stale with these settings.

The address is on the list. You aren't mailing to it so nothing is
happening. cron/disabled won't do anything to it because it isn't
disabled BYBOUNCE.
