They are presented in a single column in the table (HTML table) of the 
REVIEW page. Note that it is just a presentation matter, these data are 
still in separate DB colums. If you want to change this presentation, 
you'll have to both change the review.tpl and wwsympa.fcgi because the 
additional fields are not provided to the web pages parser as separate 
fields. (They are available as separate data in authorization scenario 
files though)

You don't have to change the editsubscriber.tpl template to make 
additional_subscribers_field editable, they should automatically appear.
As far as you restarted wwsympa.fcgi (a 'touch' is enough) after you 
edited sympa.conf.

This has not been implemented for the additional_user_fields because it 
would require additional parameters to define who is allowed to edit 
each data field (listmaster, listowner, subscribers,...) and it makes 
things too complicated. This feature just aims at making things easier 
to add some administrative data to subscriptions ; the aim is not to 
make Sympa the heart of your Information System ;-)
