Actually, Mailman's intent is to send list-owner bounces to the site
list (mailman list) owner, but the current code doesn't work. I
discovered this recently when fixing another problem
(<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1834569&group_id=103&atid=100103>).
The fix for list-owner bounces is complicated, and I haven't done it
yet, but I will try to do something for Mailman 2.1.10.
