This is a VERY sticky issue.  I would suggest you contact the owners of
dog-rescue who went thru a hostile takeover attempt a few months ago.
dog-rescue-request (or owner-dog-rescue) @apple.ease.lsoft.com

A few things you can do off the top of my head in no particular order:

1) Choose your co-owners CAREFULLY.  Don't give anyone owner authority
unless you trust them.

2) Establish a second account with a different userid on a different
node and make it a quiet owner.

3) Keep master copies of all files locally.  i.e. header, mailtpl etc.

4) Do a GET listname (NOLOCK on a regular basis.  Assuming you have
notify = owner(s),  save the notifications of subscribe and unsubscribe
between GETs.
