Assuming cron/disabled is being run, yes, that is the case.

You'd need to change MemberAdaptor.BYBOUNCE in that script to
MemberAdaptor.BYUSER to delete members who set themselves to nomail.

However, it occurs to me that there is a better way than my possibly
error prone withlist method. Consider

cd to Mailman's bin directory
./list_members -n bybounce LISTNAME | ./remove_members -f - LISTNAME

or

./list_members -n byuser LISTNAME | ./remove_members -f - LISTNAME
