The preferred way to do this is to add the following in the apache
config

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo

You can edit the templates as you wish. That's what they're for, but
don't overwrite the base templates with the edited ones. See
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp
for where to put edited templates so they are used per list, per
domain or sitewide.
