It will send e-mail to all of the addresses listed in the

     General Options
         owner

box in the Mailman list "home" page.  A list admin is anyone who
knows the list administrator password.  When there is something for
the administrator to do, Mailmman will send e-mail to the e-mail
address(es) of the owner(s).  There are some tasks that a list
moderator can do (approve postings, but not change the list config
parameters), so if the item awaiting action is something a
moderator can do, then the e-mail is sent to the moderator(s) and the
owner(s).

If I know the list admin password, then I can go to the list admin
web page and see if there is anything queued in the "pending
moderator requsts" queue.  I do not have first to receive an e-mail
telling me that there is something in that queue.
