While it's true that someone can "get to the list management form" with
their password, they cannot add/delete subscribers, or even view the list
headers and templates, let alone change them.  An unsavory individual can
sit and stare at the list management screen all day, but he's never going
to be able to see any of your list information (other than the list name)
unless added as an owner.

I'll agree that the mechanism is sort of odd.  But I don't see that it
poses any sort of threat to your list's security.
