The only way I can see this happening is if Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py
has the wrong entry for MAILMAN_GID.
from Mailman import mm_cfg
from Mailman.mm_cfg import MAILMAN_UID, MAILMAN_GID
try:
MAILMAN_GRPNAME = grp.getgrgid(MAILMAN_GID)[0]
except KeyError:
MAILMAN_GRPNAME = '<anon gid %d>' % MAILMAN_GID
