I've been informed the tone of that email was "ambiguous". In a
hopefully clearer tone: I welcome and authorise a friendly NMU,
correcting this or any other bug in mailman, to the exclusion of new
feature implementations. So, in an NMU of mailman:

 - correcting bug #380876 is allowed, appreciated and welcomed
 - correcting any other bug that is a fault and not lack of a feature
   is allowed, appreciated and welcomed
 - adding a new feature (otherwise than through a new upstream
   version) is disallowed without prior arrangement.
 - uploading a new upstream version (forward-porting the Debian
   patches) is allowed, appreciated and welcomed


As a closing, DD or non-DD active co-maintainers are welcomed, hoped
for and necessary to achieve the level of quality expected of a
package in Debian.


Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further question.
