Currently this is not possible -- it is always MAILMAN_OWNER as
defined in Mailman/mm_cfg.py (and Mailman/Defaults.py) which is listed
here.

Personally, I think there should be an additional level of
administration in Mailman, i.e. have administrators at "list", "site"
and "installation" level.  Now there are no "site" administrator
level, only "list" and "installation", and that won't scale too well
(IMHO).

It might even be a good idea to generalize even further, and provide
some way of giving certain admins "privileges" that put them further
up the hierarchy, possibly allowing them in turn to issue some
privileges unto others.

But this won't make it into 1.0, of course :)

I don't think so, no.  However, I've never quite understood why
bin/newlist insists that the list names it's fed contain no "@"
characters.  An implementation strategy would be for "newlist" to
allow "@"s in input list names, and then split things up later
internally, using separate alias files file or whatever for mailing
lists in separate domains.

I think the virtual hosting stuff in Mailman is basically a hack,
which will need to be rethought carefully later.  Hopefully, it won't
be _too much_ later :)
