I would like all group owners to be automatically subscribed to a 'group owners' group that is specified by admin. So, whenever a group is created this module will add user to the specified group owners group if needed. Ideally, when an admin enables this feature the module will retroactively existing group owners to the specified group. I'd like this new feature for g.d.o, and i would probably use the standard mandatory_group feature to put users in http://groups.drupal.org/groups-drupal-org.

Moshe- are you suggesting this would be a generally useful feature, or that you need a quick-hack solution for g.d.o?

Generally useful. This is just a standard feature request. I probably won't be coding it, so it is just a wish. I mention g.d.o just as motivation. Not urgent.

For those interested, see http://drupal.org/node/107014

Special group-admin group can retro-actively applied to group admins.

TODO: autosubscribe group admins upon new group creation. Probably just an addition to form_alter the new group creation form or submittal.

I think this should be a separate module. though maybe if I add a retroactive subscription code to OG mandatory group, I'll either expose it as an API function (i.e. that module would be required for the group ownsers module), or just reuse it.

For those interested, I did go ahead and make my own module which combines this and other features considered "won't fix" by this module. I can respect the author for wanting to keep this module simple, but it didn't meet my needs. If you need more features too, check out Organic Groups - Multiple Mandatory Groups by Role.

I'm marking this as fixed since technically, there is a solution and since it isn't otherwise getting interest or attention, it will auto-close in two weeks and clean up the issue queue a bit.
