As far as identifying users who have been removed by bounce processing,
Mailman's bounce log has the info of what addresses were removed from
what lists. You could extract that and create input for Mailman's
bin/add_members.

If you have backups of the list's config.pck files from before the
unsubscribes, you might be able to use those to recover the user's
options and passwords, but otherwise those are gone.

As far as clearing bounce info, I refer you to my answer at
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2015-September/079873.html>
from the last time you asked this question.
