If you create the list using a custom template, you should be able to set the 
template's config.tt2 to have anything you want in the owner field.  
Customise create_list_request.tt2 to add a new data entry field (we've done 
this, but for a different reason) and then customise the config.tt2 in your 
template to use this field rather than the 'owner' variable.  Of course, this 
would be open to abuse and so on...

Yes, of course.  Just set the subscribe scenario appropriately.  The 'owner' 
subscription scenario is likely what you want, but far more complex ones can 
be made -- for example, we have one that will let staff members subscribe 
without approval if they are on campus or are using an S/MIME signature; 
otherwise they need approval from owner or moderator.  Other people are not 
allowed to subscribe.  You have very detailed control over if they are using 
web or email to subscribe; where they are; how they authenticate; and so on - 
take a look in the Sympa docco online under scenari.
