I honestly like it when my questions are skimmed over. It makes me realize that I have way more resources to fix things than I initially think.
In this case, it was a "simple" case of the mailman /etc/passwd user entry showing a GID that didn't match the /etc/group mailman entry. I did try changing the /etc/group mailman entry to the actual GID that it was looking for, but the mailman installation broke. Eventually, I noticed that there was a mismatch. So, all should be okay.
