It's obviously difficult, otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it :)
The group/list isn't exactly flooded with them, though... it's a
simple matter to killfile anything with 'unsubscribe' or no subject.
If DJ Delorie is worried about them he could either forward them to
listserv, or set up an auto-reply system that tells these people of
their mistake. I don't think there's much point in doing the
auto-reply, because these people are unsubscribing, so these should be
their last messages.
Anyway, I expect he has more important projects... these messages
don't bother me really; I rarely read them.
