Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.15-1
Followup-For: Bug #603904
I confirm this problem is still happening on wheezy.
It only affects private archives.
The easy solution is to add the user "list" to the "www-data" group:
adduser list www-data
/etc/init.d/mailman restart
This way mailman (running as "list") can write to
/var/lib/mailman/archive which is owned by group "www-data".
