Possible, yes.  I don't know how to do it well enough to add to our
distribution.

Note that owners can't actually manage users -- that really does need
to be a superuser.  Owners can manage subscriptions to the lists they
own.  So first we'd want to create a new "Subscriptions" item for the
top menu; the "Users" item isn't appropriate.  I'm not sure who that
item should be visible to.  Most likely only owners, because
individuals already have ways to see all their subscriptions, and it's
not obvious they would want the same presentation as your superowners.

Then you'd iterate over the logged-in owner's lists and collect all of
the subscriptions.  I guess you'd want them to be organized by address
rather than by list.  By User is out, I think -- owners can't normally
see Users, and I'm unhappy abou the privacy implications of being able
to correlate n...@alset.com with h...@dodgy.gov in general, although I
realize it's not a problem in your setting.

Without a more complete specification of what your users need, and the
presentation they'd want to see, I personally am unwilling to go
farther than those comments.  Maybe one of the other devs feels
differently.

Also, "domain owner" is way under-implemented currently.  For the
hierarchical situation you outline, all the problems go away for
domain owners.  Of course then you'd need to split out lists by
domain, but to me that's a small cost to preserve sanity in the
structure.
