Owner generally doesn't matter. It depends on who owned the process
that created the file or directory in the first place. The important
thing is group. Everything should be group 'mailman' and the group
should have sufficient permission.

You didn't show the pipermail.pck file in your prior post, but it too
needs to be group mailman and group writable.

Also, all the directories in archives/private/ such as OURLIST and
OURLIST.mbox need to be group mailman and permissions drwxrwsr-x.
