[Mailman-Users] TypeError via config_list

[Paul Makepeace]

With a suggestion from Jim Tittsler I extracted the list members with
list_members and then rmlist / newlist to blow away and re-create the
list from scratch. Brutal, but effective.

Jim's fallback suggestion was,

> If so, you can always use withlist to open the list and save the
> m.members dictionary.

which wasn't necessary thankfully; the list_members worked.
