maybe being added to group 'list' would fix it indeed.  however, i am not quite 
sure how
this is supposed to work:

joostvb@moszumanska:~% ls -l 
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/debian-science-sagemath
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root list 69 авг  9  2016 
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/debian-science-sagemath -> 
/srv/lists.alioth.debian.org/archives/private/debian-science-sagemath

joostvb@moszumanska:~% ls -ld 
/srv/lists.alioth.debian.org/archives/private/debian-science-sagemath
ls: cannot access 
/srv/lists.alioth.debian.org/archives/private/debian-science-sagemath: 
Permission denied
joostvb@moszumanska:~% ls -ld /srv/lists.alioth.debian.org/archives/private
drwxrws--- 2787 www-data list 131072 нов 13 20:08 
/srv/lists.alioth.debian.org/archives/private/

'public' symlinking to 'private' feels wrong to me.

better contact [email protected] i guess, or file a bug.

Bye,

Joost
