I am testing Mailman 2.1.14 via a Debian/Ubuntu package I built
from the SourceForge source.  I included the "multiple list owner"
patch from Mark Sapiro (Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:11:06 -0700).

I created a new list, and I specified two addresses in response to the

     Enter the email(s) of the person running the list:

prompt:  

     user1 at example.com,user2 at example2.com

The list-creation mail was sent to both addresses, but the
admin web page shows only the first address as the owner.

When I compare the 2.1.13 patched newlist with the 2.1.14 patched
newlist installed by the package:

vm20% diff build_mailman_2.1.13/mailman-2.1.13/bin/newlist \
           /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist

---
>                              emailhost=host_name, urlhost=urlhost)
vm20%

and comparing the original source in my two package-build directories:

vm20% diff build_mailman_2.1.13/mailman-2.1.13/bin/newlist.original \
           build_mailman_2.1.14/mailman-2.1.14/bin/newlist.original

vm20%

and comparing the patched source in my two package-build directories:

vm20% diff build_mailman_2.1.13/mailman-2.1.13/bin/newlist \
           build_mailman_2.1.14/mailman-2.1.14/bin/newlist

I tried creating two other test lists with two owners to see if the
e-mail address domain had any effect:

     list 2: user2 at example2.com,user at example.com

     list 3: user at example.com,user2 at example.com

The single owner in each case:

     list 2: the second address
     list 3: the first address
