Assuming the MTA uses aliases for delivery to Mailman, set the alias
for LISTNAME-bounces to go to "owner".

You can't do it cleanly with list settings. What you can do with
settings alone is set bounce_processing to Yes, bounce_score_threshold
to 0.5 and bounce_notify_owner_on_disable to Yes. Then the member will
have delivery disabled on the first bounce and the owner will get a
notice with the bounce DSN attached, but the member will have had
delivery disabled even if that isn't what the owner would have wanted.
