a long-time annoyance of mine has been that I, as listmaster,
do not have rights to even VIEW the moderation queue for a list
unless i am listed as an owner or moderator.

my question is, why is it this way? I found it in the documentation,
so it seems like a conscious design decision.
Yes it is. We think listmasters are only technical staff. In many cases list message distribution privilege must be under the exclusive control of the list editor. We known Sympa lists with 800.000 subscribers ; do you imagine what append if the listmaster send by error a message to such list ?

May be we should define in the list or robot configuration what are listmaster privileges. For example, listmaster could or not be allowed to review subscribers or archives. Should this part of scenario ? You may submit a feature request about this.
