It is bestter to leave owner_request_special enabled, and fix the SQL
query to not synthesize unintended implicit owners. Your RT integration
may also need to be re-examined to see if it can be done more cleanly.
[Perhaps an RT owned aliases file, ...].
Someday you'll have an alias list that desperately needs owner-list
support, but the feature will be turned off and your successor won't
notice or won't know why...
