A colleague of mine helped me with this.

It looks like this is hardcoded and mailman creators won't let it to be
modified. So, you can change 'GetAdminEmail' in MailList.py to your needs.
It is very easy, but notice, that even in current CVS there is no move to make
it configuratable -- so, you'll probably have to patch it every time... :-(

It is easy, just change:
    def GetAdminEmail(self):
                return '%s-admin@%s' % (self._internal_name, self.host_name)

to:
    def GetAdminEmail(self):
                return 'owner-%s@%s' % (self._internal_name, self.host_name)

Works fine.
However, one should add an alias owner-<listname> to the list of aliases.
