You can do
 
* Owner= (OWNERS-L)
 
Then you create the list OWNERS-L and add all your list owners to it.
(Obviously it doesn't have to be <called> OWNERS-L--that's just an
example.)  If you do this, you should definitely define an Errors-To:
keyword; otherwise everyone on OWNERS-L will get copies of the
error messages.
 
Another possibility:
 
* Owner= [log in to unmask]
* Owner= Quiet:
* Owner= (OWNERS-L)
* Errors-To: Owner
 
This way you have defined a primary owner who will get the delivery
errors and the mail to owner-<listname>.  The primary owner is also
a member of OWNERS-L, but he shouldn't get duplicates because OWNERS-L
is a quiet owner.  When the primary owner goes on vacation, just
GET the list, substitute the name of another owner, and PUT the list
back.  Actually I like this one better--it gives Joe Random Subscriber
the address of at least one person who can address subscriber problems.
