I've looked at the current mailing list page, but the instructions to unsubscribe do not work for the old list. Anyone know how to do it?

I believe you send an email with the subject "unsubscribe" to gentoo-user-request@gentoo.org, but I'm not entirly positive. [Edit: Make that gentoo-announce-request@gentoo.org]

That isn't it, but it helped, thanks. Follows is the response I received after sending a message as per your suggestion:
Code:
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
gentoo-announce@gentoo.org mailing list.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at gentoo-announce-owner@gentoo.org.

This is a generic help message. The message I received wasn't sent to
any of my command addresses.

Here is a list of the command addresses supported:

Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
  <gentoo-announce-info@gentoo.org>
  <gentoo-announce-faq@gentoo.org>

Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
  <gentoo-announce-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org>
  <gentoo-announce-digest-unsubscribe@gentoo.org>

To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
  <gentoo-announce-get.123_145@gentoo.org>

To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
  <gentoo-announce-index.123_456@gentoo.org>

To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
  <gentoo-announce-thread.12345@gentoo.org>

The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.

You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "john@host.domain", just add a hyphen and your
address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
   <gentoo-announce-subscribe-john=host.domain@gentoo.org>

To stop subscription for this address, mail:
   <gentoo-announce-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@gentoo.org>


--- Administrative commands for the gentoo-announce list ---

I can handle administrative requests automatically. Please
do not send them to the list address! Instead, send
your message to the correct command address:

For help and a description of available commands, send a message to:
  <gentoo-announce-help@gentoo.org>

To subscribe to the list, send a message to:
  <gentoo-announce-subscribe@gentoo.org>

To remove your address from the list, just send a message to
the address in the ``List-Unsubscribe'' header of any list
message. If you haven't changed addresses since subscribing,
you can also send a message to:
  <gentoo-announce-unsubscribe@gentoo.org>

or for the digest to:
  <gentoo-announce-digest-unsubscribe@gentoo.org>

For addition or removal of addresses, I'll send a confirmation
message to that address. When you receive it, simply reply to it
to complete the transaction.

If you need to get in touch with the human owner of this list,
please send a message to:

   <gentoo-announce-owner@gentoo.org>

Please include a FORWARDED list message with ALL HEADERS intact
to make it easier to help you.
To get my address removed, I had to send a message to the address as folows:
    gentoo-announce-unsubscribe-username=address.com@gentoo.org
Where my email address is username@address.com (replace @ with an =)
Also explained in above code block. Note that you'll get a confirmation message as a reply.
