Here at Kansas State, our staff of 5 supports ~2400 lists. We have a list
called staff-l that we are all subscribed to and then have:

    Owner= (staff-l)

in the header of each list.  That makes all 5 of us owners of each list
and when our staff changes we only have to change the subscribers of the
staff-l list.  I'm doing the same thing on some of our groups who have a
lot of lists so they can manage this easier themselves.

You could do something similar, which would make it a lot easier to fix
the next time. :-)
