The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

That's great for populating the list_table, thanks David. Is there a way to
populate the admin_table using the "owner" data in the list configs? I'm now
getting lists in error_config state because they have no owner defined.

https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/admin/list-members.html says:

Is there a way to simulate that configuration change?

Cheers,
Dave
