Queues are normally setup so that the OTRS admins can see all tickets.
This makes things easier when checking for errors, making sure there
are no backlogs, cleaning up cross-queue spam, etc. However, there are
definitely some private queues -- like the oversight and Wikimedia
registration/scholarship queues -- that OTRS admins cannot see unless
they give themselves access to it, which they wouldn't do unless they
needed to for some reason.
