I can only agree with this.  I administer almost 100 mailing lists
with the largest having over 10,000 subscribers on it.

Each list setup is maybe 15 minutes, never more than 30 minutes and
four hours per list is unimaginable.

Maintenance can vary depending on size of lists and whether one has to
approve manually subscriptions but 10 hours a week for six lists is
again far too high.
