There is a mechanism that can be adapted for this (RFC 8058 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8058/> "One-Click Leave"). However, this is not yet implemented in Mailman. (It is on my personal to-do list if nobody else gets there first.) But I don't see how it solves your problem, because the user is very unlikely to receive the link in a timely fashion. The RFC 8058 links expire fairly quickly (a day or so) so that they are not likely to inadvertantly or maliciously unsubscribe the user. That means that they can't look in their saved mail for the link, assuming they even keep it. On the other hand, if Mailman sends mail to your user for any reason, and it does *not* bounce, they will be re-enabled automatically. In that case the link is unnecessary. Let me know if I'm missing something about your users. If you want to continue to look for improvements in service to your "naive" users, I'd be happy to explore them. For example, if your users use Gmail or other state-of-the-art providers, then they have access to a "social account" that can be used to log in to Mailman as well. I have *not* thought this through, so no promises, but it might be reasonable to use a RFC 8058-style link to one-click link a "social account" to their Mailman account. It's not quite "single sign-on", but it's one less password, etc. Of course how useful that is depends on exactly why you think setting up and logging in to an account is a blocker for your users, but if you describe that we may come up with some ideas. I personally can devote very little time to work on this until Summer of Code is over, though.
