I'd like to see a refactoring of configuration/authority levels in
MM3.0 so that e.g. a site admin could set some variables and decide
which can overridden by a vhost owner (or I think as JC once pointed
out, more generally a group owner).  The vhost owner could then decide
what to delegate to list owners.

Most of this has been discussed previously on this list.
