Emails about moderation are sent to list owners, want them sent to moderators instead
Hello,
This is about GNU Mailman 3.3.3 (Tom Sawyer).
For each list there are both "owners" and "moderators". As I understand it, the idea is that owners have the power to change configuration for the list, while moderators have more limited power, they can only moderate but not change configuration.
When an email is sent from a non-member to a list that requires moderation in such a case, an email with subject like "[listname] post from [sender] requires approval" is sent to the list owners. I would like those emails to be sent to moderators instead.
The reason why I want it to work that way is that list owners sometimes want to delegate the work of moderating to the moderators. List owners then want to keep the power to change list configuration, but they do not want to be bothered by individual moderation emails.
Is there a way to configure mailman3 to make it send moderation emails to moderators instead of owners?
Or, have I misunderstood the purpose of "owners" and "moderators"? If so, I would be grateful if someone could explain.

Correct.

Such notices are actually sent to the LISTNAME-owner@... address, received by Mailman and resent to all the owners and moderators.
Both owners and moderators should receive the message.

As I said, the notices are sent to both owners and moderators. There is no simple configuration to change this. Change would require modifying mailman/handlers/owner_recipients.py or possibly defining a sub-class of mailman.pipelines.OwnerPipeline which overrides the _default_handlers method and arranging for that to be used.
