List creation and alias creation are separate processes: mj_create
makes the list at Web run-time, and (assumably at some later time)
mj_build parses the created config and builds the aliases. In order
for create and build to share the owner info, there must be a spot
for the data in the config file. In a stock Majordomo, there is no 
'owner' in the list config.

The MajorCool docs contain instructions for adding an 'owner'
keyword and go on to extoll the benefits of using mj_build_aliases
once you have done this. I didn't expect someone would try to use
mj_build *without* having done so, but as you can see, it degrades
gracefully and defaults to the site owner when no list-owner info
can be found.
