Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8
Severity: important

if you click the 'subscribe'-button on the web-interface without giving
your email-address, mailman returns a success message for your
subscription. that may cause lost subscriptions of unexperienced users
because they think they are (magically) subscribed, but are not.

in fact the success-message tells them about an confirmation-mail they
have to wait for, but most actually do not read the full text.

this issue seems to be fixed in version 2.1.6
