You may find this method useful.  I have a mailman list named owners-list
which I use to distribute information to mailman list owners.  I use the
attached owners-update script to keep it up-to-date.  I have my own
newlist and rmlist wrapper scripts that call owners-update.

The other script named owners displays all list owners.
