I'd tend to take this as:-
* Mailman is a bitch to package
* RH have packaged it for a while
* RH found a good few of the gotchas in packaging Mailman
* RH have subsequently learnt from their mistakes and recently
have produced good packages.
* Other distros may do better, or may yet have to learn from their
mistakes :-)
Just for the record, the errata FC1 packages, and all the FC2 packages
worked fine for me. However I don't run Mailman on production on FC*
(due to the machine provided by Cambridge Uni for exim.org running
FreeBSD).

Heh - transferring to FreeBSD has been very much a learning experience.
Best to ask me in a year what I think of it :-)
