You didn't say on what type and version the system is, which is important because things like log file rollovers aren't really part of mailman proper but rather are done as part of the system specific installation. I do know that for a while we (Red Hat) had a bug with log file rotation in our RPM, that was fixed about 6 months ago. However the bug I'm aware of does not seem like what you are describing. The bug we fixed would keep generating new files with an extra digit appended to it till it eventually filled the file system, e.g. the file log would become log.1, then log.1.1, then log.1.1.1 rather than log.2. Exact details may vary as I'm going from memory.
Best thing for you to do is let us know the exact type of system, the contents of /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/mailman (assuming you have a system with this version of logrotate.
