Sorry, but I did not get it. Is there any other field which is
used to setup the list-owner address used in several
messages or procedures?

The field "owner" is used to setup "The list administrator
email addresses." , so please let me suggest to use this field
(e.g. the first entry) instead of the "list-owner" address
which - this is unusual for mailman - seems to be hardcoded
in sourcecode and can not be altered.

This looks like a special requirement for me, but I do not want
to have an alias "-owner" for every list I run, a single mail
address used to let the list members know where they can
get further help would be sufficient for me.

So, please consider this as a humble request for feature:
Do not use a hardcoded "-owner"-alias for creating reject
messages or other types of error/notification messages, use
the first "owner" address entry
OR
Create and use a template for those messages, which could
easily be customized by everyone - even for the english
language texts (which is not possible for the LC_MESSAGES,
at the moment)

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me,
kind regards,
Heiko
