I have a Mailman list named mailman-list-owners just for this purpose.
I have a cron that is run every two hours to keep the membership current.

mailman# cat sync_owners.exec
#!/bin/csh
# shell script to synchronize the mailman-list-owners subscribers
# When (how often) do we run this script?

# Synchronize silently:
#     file is stdin       (-f -)
#     no Welcome message  (-w=no)
#     no goodby message   (-g=no)
#     no digest mode      (-d=no)
#     no admin notify     (-a=no)

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_owners | \
      /usr/lib/mailman/bin/sync_members -f - -w=no -g=no -d=no -a=no \
      mailman-list-owners
mailman#

When I see a new owner, I send him/her e-mail pointing to our internal
wiki where I have information for Mailman list owners.
