The moderators can see all the subscribers. However that data is not
available to us as a simple text file, CSV file or database, but as a
set of web pages, ordered alphabetically. There are no facilities for
dumping the entire list, or for uploading a list of subscribers. There
may be such things in Mailman3, but currently we have Mailman2 and
Gnome isn't going to change it.

So sending individual messages to each member means doing it manually
850 or so times or writing some web-scraping software to get the info.
No thanks.

Clearly the transition to Discourse will use some automated procedure,
but that's under the control of Gnome admins, not us.
