Personally, I have found that it is generally worth my while to assist subscribers who have difficulty, or lack of time, doing so themselves.

There are several bonus points when I [owner] get involved:

1) I am able to be helpful to someone who appreciates the help -- this is a win-win

2) Sometimes, it is an organization that is changing their hostname and I am able to preempt n-people requesting / having problems with changes.  If lucky, I can do a 

	CHANGE listname *@oldhost *@newhost PW=pswd

3) Sometimes the old subscription address is not the current subscriber address and therefore (subscriber) can not change it to the NEW address

But then again maybe I'm just a masochist?
