With your Apache properly configured, you won't run into them. :)

I'd certainly want to redirect users and admins to the SSL version of
the mailman pages so they aren't logging in via an unencrypted
channel.

The value used above would be exactly what you'd use.  In python, the
%(hostname)s and %(listname)s will be expanded to the values of
hostname and listname.  Check out the current value for
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL in Defaults.py.  Just copy it to mm_cfg.py and
change http to https.  Then regenerate your archives using the arch
command in ~mailman/bin/.

You said previously that fix_url.py didn't work for you.  There may be
some other things in mm_cfg.py that need to be set correctly for that
to do what you want.  If you post more details about what you have set
for DEFAULT_URL_HOST and any other hosts you've added via
add_virtualhost it might help someone here get you pointed in the
right direction.
