I don't know of anything that a list owner can do to a list that a LISTSERV postmaster would need the createpw to do -- their personal password is sufficient. There a a few things that a postmaster can do that a list owner cannot (e.g., serve out addresses, shut down the server). Having the special list does mean that people can be added or deleted without having to restart LISTSERV.
