It is not unusual to have several list owners spreading the work and responsibility among themselves; in particular, it is common for a "technical" list owner to assist the non-technical person who is formally in charge of the list with administrative matters.
A peered list is a list that runs in parallel on multiple computers, both to spread the load between several machines and to provide better reliability (you can still access part of the list even if one of the machines is down).
The list owner is usually knowledgable in the field covered by the list, but may not know much about computers, and may not even work in the department or organization where the list is physically located (this is called a "remote" list owner).

Some 179 were life birds (** on list; 63% of total) as my previous African visits had been a month in Kenya and one day in South Africa.
I wrote of the daytime bird that it "was mid-sized, was dark and had much reduced white in wings, and, in flight, looked to be brown with flish upperwing coverts." It turns out that this was a mistaken belief based on assumptions about the two species ranges after the split; both have dark upperwing coverts.
