Hmm... that is kind of strange. I didn't think it is supposed to work 
like that but I decided to double-check on my installation to ensure 
I didn't have the same problem. (I have mailman 2.1.5 installed, I 
eventually need to update to 2.1.8, maybe this weekend).

So when I sent the lists command to 
mailman-requests at crimson-dragon.com, it replied with the correct 
information for my server (only the two public lists and not the two 
private ones):
