Admittedly it seems inconsistent, but at least they all refer to the
owner of some list ;)

When this was developed, there was no attempt to make a universal or
consistent set of replacements. Each set of replacements is built into
the specific code that uses the template.

There is no guarantee that the same name is replaced with the same thing
in two different templates. Also, names which are not in a default
template will almost certainly not be recognized if added to an edited
version of that template.
