No, you don't need to create a PPA. It's been a while since I've done
this, so I may not have it exactly right, but assume your launchpad user
name is "example" and assuming you have committed all your changes in
your bzr branch, first ensure you have uploaded your ssh public key to
your Launchpad account.

Then in your bzr branch do

bzr push lp:~example/mailman/name
"example" is your actual user name. "mailman" is the project this is
associated with and "name" will be the Launchpad name of your branch and
can be any name that is meaningful to you.

Once you have pushed your branch, go to it in Launchpad. It will be at
<https://code.launchpad.net/~example/mailman/name> or you will also find
it listed at <https://code.launchpad.net/~example/>.

On your branch's code page will be a "Propose for merging" link. Follow
that, set the Target Branch to ~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1, add a
description if you like and "Propose Merge"
