You could also use my patch (number 1164457 on sf.net):

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1164457&group_id=103&atid=300103

This lets you write something like:

  SITE_HIDE_LIST_OPTIONS = ['owner']

in mm_cfg.py, and will then completely remove the "owner" option from
the config pages. This is a list, so you can remove as many options as
you like.
