Since anyone (and any spambot) can visit the admin overview page, it is
not effective to hide a list from the listinfo overview and continue
to expose it on the admin overview.

If you are willing to patch Mailman to do this, it is fairly simple to
modify Mailman/Cgi/admin.py to skip the 'advertised' test.

There is also the command line tool bin/list_lists.
