Hi Katrin.
Actually, this discussion should be held on report 7310, not here. This report
is just a minor detail.
We now have private lists and public lists. With the permissions you can make
your list "open" (allowing more flexibility than in the past, with less bugs
:).
Note that the three permissions have been constructed in this way after
discussions on the dev mailing list (and pushed in 3.8).

If the list is strictly private, the only useful perm is delete your own
entries. You could protect yourself from incidentally deleting an item by
disallowing that.

But note that if you would start sharing lists [new feature on report 9032] or
already if a list changed from public to private etc., things may become more
difficult. Still, the perms will just work as they advertise: The owner can
always add. Somebody else can add if permitted (but only if he has access).
Deleting can be controlled similarly. Due to such exceptions, I would not
recommend hiding the three possible perms for private lists; you are not sure
if all items on the list have been added by the owner.

Another thought: If you would change public to private, you could of course
move all items to the owner of the list.. (New report ? )
