No! Recursive grep commands include a directory specification, hence don't need to be executed from a specific subdirectory. My "egrep -r ... /usr/lib/mailman" command searches mailman's source tree.
I have no idea what OS you're using and where the "source" code is placed relative to the data files, etc... on your system, but on Mailman default installations, /usr/local/mailman is the home directory for *everything* related to Mailman, including source/executable code, log files, data files, queue directories, etc....
If you run a recursive grep of the sort you recommend on the entire /usr/local/mailman directory hierarchy, you are likely to run into the 20,000 file problem previously mentioned.
If you want to limit yourself to just the source code, you need to search /usr/local/mailman/Mailman, /usr/local/mailman/bin, etc... and make sure you don't include any of those log directories, queue directories, etc....
