The fact that there is a pending entry in the subscribe log and nothing
in the vette log indicates that the lists subscribe_policy is "Confirm
and approve" ans the confirmation to the user was never answered.

Can the user actually receive mail sent to foo+bar at goo.com?

The subscription request won't appear in the admindb until it is
confirmed by the user, so everything is consistent within Mailman. The
problem is the user never received the confirmation request email or
didn't confirm. Check your MTA logs to see that the confirmation was
sent.
