The issue is bigger than presented above (I don't have a 2.1.anything
installation to play with).

But simply telling a list owner to run
   bin/mailmanctl restart
won't do the trick:  most list owners don't have the power to run that
command (or any shell access at all).

Therefore, I'm pretty sure a solution is in the works.
