Why does moira create lists called "owner-foo" instead of
"foo-request"?
Would it hose the mailers badly to create both (thereby increasing the
number of lists by about 50% on the server)?
Because sendmail looks for owner-* lists to send errors to. This way
if there is a delivery error sending to a list, the owner sees it, not
the sender. Now it happens that these days we are creating owner
lists as *-request rather than *-acl, so this is less of a problem
now anyway.
