There’s more to it than that. For one thing, if you are not going to require that the user enter their Firstname Lastname information, you will have to make
the LISTSERV command look like
SUB listname ANONYMOUS
Otherwise LISTSERV will reject the subscription attempt and tell you that no name field was specified.
As a workaround, I
think you can omit the name field if the list is set to
Default-Options= CONCEAL
but I’ve slept a few times since I last looked at that approach.

You can even add a “subject” and a “body” to the mailto: and then the user simply clicks on SEND. Please note that this is a copied sample not a political statement.

At the bottom of this message is an UNSUBSCRIBE MAILTO URI. I bet you could easily modify it for your purposes.
Also, don't forget to tell potential subscribers to make sure their subscription notification and/or confirmation does not end up in SPAM.
<IMHO>
Using a MAILTO function is more trustworthy compared to manual entering in a (bogus) email address.
