The configure page does show the incorrectly named octave-mainainers 
list, but since the real octave-maintainers list doesn't appear there, 
I'm hesitant to request that it be removed since I don't know what is 
actually wrong and I don't want to accidentally delete the real list.

If there are actually two lists, then I don't see how to make the real 
one show up on the configure page.

Thanks.  It just doesn't seem clear exactly where to go.  Maybe I'm 
missing something, but I'm not seeing obvious links to that list on 
savannah.
