It's in the FAQ -
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.015.htp>.

The number there (147,000) is somewhat out of date. There was a recent
report
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-December/048283.html>
of a server with 4 lists of 200,000 members each, but it was
"performing non-optimally".
