Michael,

"Subscriber" is an email address that has not logged in to a Groups.io
group (interacts with email)
...
"Member" is an email address that has logged in to a Groups.io group

In Groups.io there is no distinction between a subscriber that has logged in to the site and one that hasn't yet. Hence Subscriber and Member as you've described them are the same.

This stems from the fact that creating the subscription caused the automatic creation of a corresponding account for that email address, if there wasn't one already. And with the account came the ability to log in - whether the person has done so yet or not is purely circumstantial (and inconsequential).

STATUS is another further user definition:

I don't think you're adding clarity by lumping together as Status many different types of things.

"Not Confirmed", "Bouncing",

Those two (along with "Bounced") are user Statuses, they apply to the email address across all of its subscriptions, and are applied to the address by the system.

"Pending Approval", "Banned";

Those two are (non)member Statuses. They apply to a specific address in a specific group based on the settings of the group and the actions (or inactions) of its moderators.

"Moderated", "New User Moderated", "Cannot Post", Moderate First",
"Moderate Topics",

These are Posting Privileges, assigned to the subscription by the group moderators, or in the case of New User Moderated, by a group setting.

"Following only", "Following Only w/ First Message
Also", and "Auto Follow Replies"

These are Messages Selection options. They apply to each subscription and are under the subscriber's control as well as the moderators.

It seems many questions are caused by it not being clear if an email
address is not logged in or not (or its status),

I don't see how that's relevant to a group moderator. Any given member might log in or out at any given moment, on one or more devices. Myself, I'm typically logged in at all times on three devices - my phone, laptop, and desktop. But at a given moment I might be asleep or otherwise not paying attention to those devices.

Every term should be explained when hovered over or at least have a
WIKI entry.

The top of the Help page has a short glossary. You could suggest additions to it, or write a Glossary page for GMF's wiki.
