I've looked over that part. ;-)

It's working just fine on my test environment.

Now wonder if we can put a MailmanHTTPRunner(Server) in mailman-2.2. 
This should completely get rid of the setgid problem in the installation.

I've tested putting this script in /usr/local/mailman (<prefix>) 
directory and get my browser pointing to 
http://server:8000/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py.  Unfortunately, the 
BaseHTTPServer in the Python distribution is based on syncronous 
TCPServer, thus it cannot handle simultaneous connections.  There are 
threading and forking TCPServers in the SocketServer module and we may 
be able to use them to compose a customized Mailman HTTP Server.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
import paths # Put paths.py in /usr/local/mailman directory
import BaseHTTPServer
import CGIHTTPServer

from Mailman.configuration import config
config.load()

class MailmanHTTPRequestHandler(CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler):

     have_fork = 0
     have_popen2 = 0
     have_popen3 = 0

     cgi_directories = ['/Mailman/Cgi']

def test(HandlerClass=MailmanHTTPRequestHandler,
          ServerClass=BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):
     CGIHTTPServer.test(HandlerClass, ServerClass)

if __name__ == '__main__':
     test()
