My thinking around the above was that `foo-l...@example.com` refers to a
Mailman list.
But now I am beginning to think that it's only a listname for HyperKitty
and the list doesn't necessarily have to exist in Mailman Core.
Is that right?

The fact that the command was referenced during the migration of an ACTUAL
list is what created the impression (in my mind) that the list must also
be a valid list for the Core.
