I suspect that "nothing" is the answer, but I could be wrong.

full archives of all gnu and nongnu mailing lists are available for
download as mbox files, containing full email headers )which include IP, 
message ID, date/time, etc.).

For example, to download the entire archive of address@hidden,
run the following command:

  rsync -avhP rsync://lists.gnu.org/mbox/gcmd-users .

Then you can simply "grep" for any information you want.

As for the 'date of subscription' - I don't know if there's an easy way
to get that information. When users subscribed they receive a
confirmation email -if the kept it - they'll have the date.

Show them the above command.

If they aren't comfortable with 'rsync', they can use FTP:
  ftp://lists.gnu.org/gcmd-users/

Please don't direct them to savannah admins, we don't have more
information than the above.

Not to my knowledge.

As a mailing-list administrator for your project, you can modify the
information shown on the page of the mailing lists for your project.

When you login to the "administrative page" of your mailing list,
select "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" under "Other 
administrator activities".
You'll be able to change some of the web page text, and some of the 
email messages.
