Is there any code around (or interst) in allowing

I'm moving a email server to qmail and their old
system allows for this. It seems like a useful feature
to have in qmailadmin.
Any comments?
It would be very useful, and something I'd like to see added. The list
owner would have to be an account in the same domain, as that's the
only easy way to authenticate the user and allow access to the list.
I'll try to get QmailAdmin 1.2.10 released so you can base your work on
that.
Here's the SourceForge tracker item for this feature request (from
August 2003):
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&aid=791585&group_id=6691&atid=356691
And some of my notes from that item:
If we add this, it should be optional. Some ISPs might not want to
allow list owners to modify list settings. Maybe it could be tiered --
list owner:
1) has no admin access
2) can modify the list of subscribers and/or moderators, but not change
the list options.
3) has full access to modify list settings
Additionally, moderators should have access to the add/show/delete
subscriber options on the mailing list page.
