Thanks Mark, the source code change you gave me made it work: I was able

You need to run bin/newlist as mailman or some user in the

User 'Ben' and 'mailman' are both in the Administrators group. It is
cygwin that decides to display None as the file's group owner. I
assume this is just a limitation of Cygwin.

So, as far as both Windows and Cygwin should be concerned,
