Applied all patches & got this..  I'm not much of a programmer :\  Or I
could be of more help...

This is the code from around there.

    from Mailman import MailList
    if names == None:
        names = list_names()
    got = []
    for i in names:
        if verbose:
            print i,

        else:
            MailList.MailList(i, lock=lock)
        if verbose:
            print
        got.append(apply(func, (l,)))
        if verbose:
            print got[-1]
        if not (mlist and mlist.internal_name() == i):
            l.Unlock()
        del l
    return got
