Hello Bill,

the documentation shows an example with a lot of possible options.

You don't need all these entries, a XML file like the following
should be sufficient:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<list>
  <listname>testliste</listname>
   <type>html-news-letter</type>
  <subject>Test list</subject>
  <description/>
  <topics>computer</topics>
  <status>open</status>
   <owner multiple="1">
     <email>address@concealed</email>
   </owner>
</list>

You can use --import for adding users. We are in the progress to add new 
commandline options
to manage users, editors and owners.
