I've done this as our listinfo pages were getting mined for the owner addresses and then, working on the supposition that the owner is also a subscribed address, spammers would spoof email to the lists using those addresses with some measure of success. 

If you patch HTMLFormatter.py with:

 class HTMLFormatter:
     def GetMailmanFooter(self):
-        ownertext = COMMASPACE.join([Utils.ObscureEmail(a, 1)
-                                     for a in self.owner])
+       ownertext = Utils.ObscureEmail(self.GetOwnerEmail())

You'll see listname-owner--at--domain instead of the real owners' address which you can see an example of at http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/advocacy-discuss
