[Mailman-Developers] run_queue bug

[Scott]

Now that i got this working, there's a permissions bug in the mail
queue system: 

my mailqueue looks like this:
-rw-------   1 root     mailman      1515 Aug  4 19:25 mm_q.2
-rw-------   1 nobody   mailman       230 Aug  4 19:59 mm_q.3
-rw-------   1 www      mailman      1360 Aug  4 20:12 mm_q.4

so when run_queue runs as user mailman, it can't open the files. 
I think it got those ownerships from root running newlist, from
subscribing someone from the web, and from vmailer doing the delivery
to a mailcmd as user nobody.  Shouldn't they be made g+rw?
