The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Patrick,

That's clearly something we had in mind when designing the 
owner/privileged owner hierarchy and to be honest we sometimes describe 
Sympa behavior this way because we forget that it was not fully 
implemented this way. It should not be too much work to change the 
current behavior though : just performing some checks in 
wwsympa::do_edit_list().

Please submit a feature request in our tracking system :
