Hi Adam.

This is not so easy. One think we must keep in mind is that some 
listmaster (address@concealed) may accept some list creation from a 
particular person but not from another one. That's why on our list 
server privileged owners are not authorized to add/edit other privileged 
owners so the initial list creator can't desapear from the list config 
unless he request for it to a human person.

Change email feature should not be a way to change list owners in way 
that is not permitted by edit_list.conf

We will pleased to accept a patch for that new feature. This summer the 
development for alt_email feature will start according to this document 
: http://www.sympa.org/dev/altemail . When it will be done thje feature 
you request will have to be integrated with the new version.
