I think you will find that the "paonia" administrator is the one at
fault here. Check the headers of the bounce message you received.

As a casual inspection of the headers of this or any other mailing list
message will show you, this mailing list is run on mailman (because the
RWTH-Aachen.de server was changed over to it some time ago).

No, that would be because it doesn't have a droolproof web interface.
Many modern email users appear to find the concept of "send a message
to address 'x' with subject 'y'" too challenging for them. Mailman
makes it much easier to join or administer a list even if you have
minimal comprehension skills.
