There are two things that control whether a list is visible in the web
admin and listinfo overviews.

One is the list's Privacy options... -> Subscription rules ->
advertised setting which must be Yes.

The other is if VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is On (the default setting), the
host name in the list's web_page_url attribute must match the host
name in the URL used to visit the page.

The above fix_url will set the host in list_name's web_page_url to
lists.domain.com. If this matches the host in the
http://lists.domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin URL and the list doesn't
appear on the overview, check its advertised setting.
