Sorry to poke you again. Can you still reproduce it with latest mailman3
3.2 packages from Debian unstable? Did you try to do a fresh
installation of mailman3 in the meantime?

This permission error smells suspcious to me. /run/mailman/ should be
owned by 'list'list' and the mailman3 daemon should put the pid file
into it with same ownership.

Maybe something got screwed during installation/configuration/debugging
of the packages in early state. We indeed had some nasty permission bugs
in the first releases of mailman3 packages. The latest packages should
have fixed them (at least the ones we know of).

If you don't discover this bug anymore or are unable to reproduce, I'd
like to close the bugreport.

Cheers
