} While this is exactly what the code does, I think it's rather

Yeah, I was scratching my head when I saw that. What if the path was
instead: moderator, else -approval, else owner?

This would allow for:

list owner does all
	-approval alias to owner
	moderator unset

list owner gets bounces, approver does subs & posts
	-approval alias goes to user X
	moderator unset

list owner gets bounces, approver does subs, moderator does posts
	-approval alias to user X
	moderator set to user Y

The latter would support three levels of admin (owner, approver, 
moderator) and still default to the owner when not used.
