True.

However, this also allowed site admins to create lists with bogus
admin addresses, which could lead to all kinds of more or less subtle
trouble -- so I changed things to have Mailman do the same address
checks on list admins as is done when considering new subscribers.

The right thing to do would probably be to allow (all kinds of) email
address comments in both admin and member addresses, but that has it's
problems too -- for one, it could make the process of automatically
correlating failed delivery reports to subscribed member addresses
more difficult.
