No one was talking about something that required host admin privs.

OK.  The option is "Who can view subscription list?" and the
options are "Anyone", "List members", "List admin only", at least
in 2.1.  Has this changed for 2.1?  I hadn't thought so.

Anyway, yes, if it's set to "List admin only", I would expect
the subscribers don't get it.

Again, this is not a surprise, right?

Well, I can, and did.  What are you saying here?  I'm missing your
point.

I'm suggesting that maybe a useful new feature to the processing
of the 'who' command would be to allow the administrator to
retrieve the list (by changing the test in the code).  That implies
that I fully realize it doesn't work that way today.
