Anything that instantiates a list object. From the command line, 
bin/list_lists will do it for all lists. Any command that targets a list 
(e.g. bin/list_members) will do it for that list.

 From the web, the listinfo overview page will do it for all lists, and 
any list specific page will do it for that list.
