You do need to be a site manager to issue LISTS OWNED BY .

6.3. LISTSERV Maintainer Commands
(...)
Lists [option]

Global                           All known lists, one line per list, sent as a
                                  (large!) file. Only LISTSERV maintainers may
                                  request this list, as it has become a
                                  favorite pastime of Internet mailbombers to
                                 issue LIST GLOBAL commands on behalf of users
                                 whose mailboxes they wish to bomb. You should
                                  direct users who request "the whole list of
                                  lists" to L-Soft's CataList service at the
                                  WWW URL http://www.lsoft.com/catalist.html.

Starting with 1.8e, additional options available for site maintainers are

OWNED BY internet_address       Returns a list of local lists owned by the
                                userid@host specified. Wildcards are
                                acceptable.
MODerated BY internet_address   Returns a list of local lists moderated by the
                                userid@host specified. Wildcards are
                                acceptable.
