I see today's equivalence of "browsable" and "subscribable" for lists,
but I'd like to allow non-sr.ht users to subscribe to a list *before*
they can browse it.

Put another way: what information should I share with non-sr.ht users
to let them subscribe to a list that only subscribers can browse?

In a standard mailman setup, I can share a link like this one:
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel

WDYT?
