POC:
  ~mailman/bin/list_lists - this will list all the list on the site, then 
simply add "-admin" to the names of the lists.

Example: you have lists: 
   list1,
   list2, 
   list3

Create an alias as such:
   list_admins: list1-admin, list2-admin, list3-admin

The only problem with this approach is that folks who manage more than one 
list will recieve multiple copies of the email.

A long while back someone floated a script across this list which actually 
went into each list and pulled out the email addresses of the admins.  You 
can probably find that if you search the archives, or you can recreate it 
from some of the scripts currently in the FAQ.

Good Luck.
