It should be listed in an info message available from the list-managemnt
software; optimally, the list owner should always be reachable at the
-request address. (While some people automate this address, it's not
clear to me that's consistent with the RFC's, and I'd strongly suggest a
copy of all mail to that address go to the list manager.)
