It is best to do

bin/mailmanctl reopen

following any logfile changes done while Mailman is running.

Why not use logrotate?  A typical config excerpt for logrotate is
something like

list of paths to mailman's logs {
    missingok
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /path/to/bin/mailmanctl reopen >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}
