No! You should NOT edit Defaults.py. You will regret doing so when you come 
to install an upgrade to Mailman.

If some variable (MAILMAN_OWNER for example) in Defaults.py is defined in 
terms of some other variable (DEFAULT_HOST_NAME) in Defaults.py and you 
redefine the other variable in mm_cfg.py then you should also redefine to 
first variable in mm_cfg.py.

With the example variables, if you redefine DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in mm_cfg.py 
then also redefine MAILMAN_OWNER in mm_cfg.py; in fact you can use the same 
assignment for MAILMAN_OWNER in mm_cfg.py as is used in Defaults.py but it 
will pick up the redefined DEFAULT_HOST_NAME from mm_cfg.py and hence end 
up with a different final value.
