Ah, OK, I thought we're wondering in general where these addresses are advertised. I've been contacted on *-owner once or twice. Having Mailman use list-ow...@somewhere instead of ``direct'' addresses makes sense for having a generalized scheme that applies to all lists, list-ow...@somewhere, and in case that more than one person is administrator of the list, all of them are reachable through one email address, cf. <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils>. Both of these are not really strong arguments for having list-ow...@somewhere addresses, though, so I wouldn't mind removing them if that is what you had in mind. Regards, Thomas
