i tried to fix this with
chown list:list /var/log/mailman3/mailman-suite.log
but then other parts break:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

'%r: %s' % (name, e))
ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'file': [Errno 13] Permission

```
I think that 2 different users try to write to that logfile.
A workaround (i don't like) is to give o+rw permission to that file.
