I figure the Mailman developers chose not to include further information so as to avoid giving evildoers an immediate hint towards an easy workaround to suit their evil purposes. :-) Mailman, lacking some aspects of higher intelligence, is sadly unable to determine whether you are in fact an evildoer or an innocent bystander. I would vouch for bystander, but Mailman didn't think (think) to ask me for a personal reference.
