I think the best way would be to delivere it to
mailman-loop at localhost, with an envelope sender of
postmaster at localhost like this (untested, apparently I manged to get
the host onto some (hopefully temporary) t-online blocklist while
testing this...)

    # Redirect mailman-loop special address
    if local in ('mailman-loop'):
        os.execv("/usr/sbin/sendmail",
                 ("/usr/sbin/sendmail", "-f", "postmaster at localhost", "mailman-loop at localhost"))
        sys.exit(0)

HTH,
