Confirmed. Will fix.

Actually,  I think this usage is correct. See for example
<http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/-ee>. For a transitive verb in
English, (verb)-er refers to the subject of the verb and (verb)-ee
refers to the object. In this case - admin Mass Subscribe - the admin
is the subscriber and the people being subscribed are the subscribees.

True, but I don't think the change is significant enough to warrant
breaking translations. I'll consider for Mailman 2.2.

True, but I don't think the change is significant enough to warrant
breaking translations. I'll consider for Mailman 2.2. (Note that the
translated string in this case is 5 paragraphs long and removing this
one word breaks the entire translation.)

True, but I don't think the change is significant enough to warrant
breaking translations. I'll consider for Mailman 2.2. Also see remark
above, at least for the first of the two occurrences of this.

True, but I don't think the change is significant enough to warrant
breaking translations. I'll consider for Mailman 2.2. Again, this
would break the translation of the entire bin/newlist docstring.


And, from the comments in bug #61939:

I'll fix this in 2.2 (but I won't capitalize "web").
