Basically, Postfix will deliver to the owner of Mailman's alias file.  So long 
as that is owned by mailman user, and so long as the mailman user has the 
mailman group as it's primary GID, then running with --with-mail-gid=mailman is 
correct.

You'll probably find Mailman's documentation helpful:
