[Mailman-Users] Archive deletion

I've search the mailing list archives, and the question of deleting old
archives comes up repeatedly with unsatisfying answers.  As far as I can
tell, a list owner does not have an option to delete any archives.   This
needs to be done at the administration level and requires access to site
resources.   Since I don't have site access, the archives will continue to
grow forever unless I turn them off completely.  But, this does not help in
bringing up new lists and allowing new subscribers to catch up, all while
trying to keep junk off the disk.
 
If this is correct, who can I talk to about making an option available to
kill off outdated archives?  
 
Any pointers would be appreciated.
