as headers say:
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org?body=unsub%20pgsql-bugs>

i would guess the proper way is to send email to majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org, with body (not subject) set to:
unsub LISTNAME

important part might be that the mail should be sent from the same email
as the email that is subscribed.

for example:

if you did subscribe using email x(at)x(dot)com, but then you changed your
email to y(at)y(dot)net, and you did setup forwarding from x(at)x(dot)com to y(at)y(dot)net
- when you'll send unsub request with "from: y(at)y(dot)net" it will fail.
