I knew about the changes in Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py but I didn't try to write lists config variables in it. Now I have this settings in my mm_cfg.py:

...
generic_nonmember_action = 0
GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION = 0
...

I did not know, if the variables in mm_cfg.py are case sensitive, so I wrote both. But still when I try to create a new list ("./newlist x") and then dump the config, I still see generic_nonmember_action = 1. Why? What should I change?
