There doesn't appear to be a good reason. This has been changed for
Mailman 2.1.8 so that the 'default' umask will be 007 and also the
specific creation of the bounce-events queue file will have no
permission for 'other'.

The changes to bin/mailmanctl and Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py have
been committed to CVS and can be seen (soon) at
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/>.
