I also believe that it’s common for unsophisticated users to just start marking list emails as spam stop seeing them instead of figuring out how to unsubscribe. Which really sucks for everyone else.
Several servers I'm involved with managing are subscribed to Yahoo's feedback loop (go to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster and select "Complaint Feedback Loop"). Reporting list mail as spam is one way to get quickly removed from a list. However, this is a bit complicated because the "report spam" button in Yahoo's web mail UI is right next to the "delete" button, so some reports are accidents.
I've done the same thing, but Yahoo is pretty good at sanitizing their report to make it difficult to impossible to tell who actually needs to get ejected. I added "Sent to %(user_name)s at %(user_address)s" to the footer and while they'd generally get the user_address wiped out, the user_name would generally survive.
And because Yahoo's UI is flawed as Mark pointed out, with the delete and spam buttons adjacent, I'd usually give people a couple chances before I'd airlock them.
Yeah, I’ve been subscribed to the Yahoo feedback loops for ever and ever.
If you’ve got verp turned on, you can decode the original address from that in the headers.
