Looks like people have been sending mail to ###-reopen, which gets
converted to -reopen, which fails. I have never tried to reopen a bug in
this way. I always use the control address. I don't know if ###-reopen
is supposed to work, but it seems like it doesn't, and is in fact a
great way to do a DOS attack...
I might set mailman to reject such messages.

I see mailman-owner is aliased to me and listhelper.
I will add the other sysadmin addresses.
