    Good point.  Given FERPA/Buckley, this is a feature that
    would be of interest to all U.S. higher ed sites who
    get federal funding and use Sympa for student lists.

    For the curious, see Arizona State's FAQ:

    For our part, with our old list system, we simply created all
    new lists with an initial setting such that only the list
    owner could see subscribers and left it to the list owner to
    open things up if they wanted.  Very few ever did.  But the
    ability to flag a subscriber across all lists would prevent a
    list owner from causing a problem without knowing it.  After
    all, in most cases the owner would have no idea of the
    student's "do not release" status.
