I know I can't think of any natively accessible list host. I know that
I've made MANY requests and provided documentation to the mailman
developers in hopes that they make their product (which I believe is the
most popular out there) accessible.

If you're comfortable with coding, it's not too overly difficult to modify
the templates and Python code of mailman to implement accessibility - for
the most part form labels.
