One further question though :), the permissions on most of Mailman's

mailman, mask 0744. My question is, if I do not want to run my scripts
as root, is it fine for me to modify the permissions on these files, or
is this likely to cause unexpected results for the web front end/system
python scripts? Even if I add users to the mailman group, they are
unlikely to have full access to the mailman databases etc.

I would expect your mailman list databases already to be group writeable by the mailman group. (Check the files in /usr/local/mailman/lists/** or maybe /var/mailman/lists/** in your case.)
