istm that we should disable all administrative functions from the main
mailing lists (this is settable in the configuration). the -request
addresses handle administration, and it is just plain confusing to find
that there are some special words that should never be mentioned in the
subject or body of a message. That isn't appropriate behavior for those
mailing lists!
