I am not sure what fields you are extracting via the bin/list_members
command.  I produce an hourly list of all of the subscriptions to all
of my Mailman lists; I extract only the list name and e-mail address.
For what you want to do, I suggest an awk script to post-process the
output of bin/list_members.
