Not exactly.  The default ezmlm log is never rotated; it goes back to the
inception of the list, and all actions are timestamped.  Therefore, you can
read the log into your analysis script from the beginning and keep track of
addresses that are added and addresses are removed, ignoring invalid actions
(someone already on the list is subscribed, or vice-versa), and therefore you
should be able to generate the list of subscribers at any point in time...
