Looks good overall. Just a few nits.

If the list is an auto list, then all subscription requests are
automatically honored, and the list owner does not have to approve
the requests.

Might I suggest aliasing majordomo-owner to owner-majordomo. Makes
changing the majordomo-owner contact address much easier to handle,
and parallels the sample-owner, owner-sample below. Actually I think
the code should be changed to do away with majordomo-owner entirely in
favor of owner-majordomo.

Actually sample-owner, and sample-request-owner aren't necessary.
owner-<alias> is what is used by sendmail, and I don't remember
<alias>-owner being used in majordomo anywhere. (or did I get them
backwards again). Sample-approval is necessary.

I would suggest a see also of:
.SH SEE ALSO
perl(1), sendmail(8)
Also some way of mentioning:
resend(8), bounce(1), approve(1), and medit(1)
would be good, but I guess that will have to wait until the manual
pages are actually written 8-).
