The entry "hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases" should be in alias_maps, not
virtual_alias_maps.
>virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains
Your Mailman domains should be virtual_alias_domains.
virtual_mailbox_domains can't deliver properly to Mailman aliases.

Probably not absolutely necessary, but put
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
here to remove the add_virtualhosts entry from Defaults.py.

These are a bit permissive - should be 2775.

The one above should be correct. With Postfix integration, the
"mail-gid" is the primary group of the owner of
/var/mailman/data/aliases.db which should be _mailman. It shouldn't
need --without-permcheck

The above two touch shouldn't be needed.

/var/mailman/data/sitelist.cfg is only intended for the site list named
'mailman' (unless you set something different for MAILMAN_SITE_LISTin
mm_cfg.py). You need something like
/usr/share/mailman/bin/newlist -q mailman br...@gurgitate.org mypassword
/usr/share/mailman/bin/config_list -i /var/mailman/data/sitelist.cfg
mailman
Yo don't want the config_list for other lists.
>/usr/share/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url galaxy --
>urlhost=gurgitate.org
Instead of the above, just create it with
/usr/share/mailman/bin/newlist -q -u gurgitate.org galaxy
br...@gurgitate.org mypassword
>cd /usr/share/mailman/bin
>./genaliases
If you create the lists in the proper domain with newlist, you don't
need genaliases at this point.

Do the check_perms before the mailmanctl start
