Well, I might not do it automagically, but I can certainly see sending
a message to the list admin and maybe the unsubscribe requestor (if
the list does not hide its subscribers) something like

    sam@asd.sgi.com has asked to unsubscribe to listname, but seems not
    to be a subscriber.  I thought you might want to know that
    sam@asd.sgi.com is a subscriber, and they migh be one and the same.
