There are a few places where mailman-2.0.11 makes explicit reference to
'mailman-owner' + mlist.host_name where I believe it should use the
MAILMAN_OWNER variable (else why bother pretending that the latter is
usefully administrator-configurable?).
[ I've ignored the one in scripts/answer_majordomo_mail as I don't
believe that script can run anyway (does the Utils.SendTextToUser
function exist?) ]

------------------------
On a separate note, I _think_ that the email address "mailman@site"
is only ever used in one place, namely
Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py , where it's purpose doesn't seem
noticeably distinct from the MAILMAN_OWNER account.
Is there any good reason not to do the following patch, and simplify
the installation of mailman such that the only non-list-related alias
that it requires is the one specified by MAILMAN_OWNER in the mm_cfg.py
file?
