Is this defined in any way?
Is there any concept that a given Mailman user has “site admin rights”?
Or is the concept of the “site administrator” not realised in the application
and just considered to be someone with operating system level access to the
system that Mailman is running on?
In Mailman 2, there's no admin "users" in a typical sense but the site
administrator is someone who knows the global password for a site and/or
has shell access. The global password lets you log in as an admin to any
list, and depending on your settings may let you do things like create
and delete lists. And yes, it's really just one shared password
In Mailman 3 there's a much more nuanced user system and you can have
users with site privileges (and there's no longer a need to share
passwords).
