That could be. However, here's why I think it's running on Majordomo:

I sent a message to majordomo@lists.debian.org, and in the body, I put:

which paulf@quillandmouse.com
end

This is standard majordomo-ese for "tell me which lists I'm subscribed
to." The response was as expected by return email. So I can only assume
that majordomo was involved, or that whatever is being used has been
hacked to appear and act as majordomo.
