The method in that thread is simply moving the lists/<listname> aside.
That is one way to disable a list, but there are others depending on
what you actually want. For that, this withlist script will do it.
```
import os
from Mailman import Site
BACKUP_DIR = 'path to a mailman writable directory'
def no_owner(mlist)
if len mlist.owner == 0:
print('List %s has no owners, disabling.' % mlist.real_name)
src = Site.get_listpath(mlist.internal_name())
dst = os.path.join(BACKUP_DIR, mlist.internal_name())
os.rename(src, dst)
```
BACKUP_DIR is set to the full path of the directory in which to save the
list configurations. To avoid potential issues with os.rename,
BACKUP_DIR should be on the same file system as Mailman's lists/ directory.
