'who' is a list command just as subscribe or unsubscribe is, so yes, the
administrivia filter catches it.  It will get caught if it's used as the
only word in the subject or on a line by itself in the body.

I don't know all the rules of how the filter works, but using a subject like
"Who is here?" won't trip the filter, but "who" will.
