Well the purpose of the list is to receive feedback (bounces) from
administrative messages (password info) sent out by Mailman.  It's
purpose will grow as Mailman grows. 

You can assign any number of addresses to the list.  A really big site
might have 20 or more folks on the list.  At the last place I worked, we
would have three people on the list, since three of us managed the
lists.
