Via an email to Martin Maechler who is grandmaster and chief of all things R
and mailing lists at ETH Zuerich. 

One commonly has to offer to be the admin for the list.  

If you do what I do with the few lists I look after / started and and simply
ignore all the bounces, spam, clueless users, ... emailing the ...-owner
account then it isn't too much work at all.
