We do this so that when each moderator checks her email, she can tell at 
a glance if the pending requests for the day have already been handled 
(well, assuming she's got all those types of emails filtered into one 
folder).  It's actually fairly handy if you're not talking a list where 
there's lots of admins: a quick mail saves another 5 people the trouble 
of checking.

We just do it by asking list admins on the many-admin lists to reply to 
the "X listname moderator request(s) waiting" mails but change the 
-bounces address to -owner.  It's slightly annoying, but not that hard. 
  That might work for the original poster's problem too?
