No. It means index.html should be group writable, i.e. -rw-rw-r--
(0664).

/usr/local/mailman/archives/private itself needs to be drwxrws--x
(2771) and group mailman or if it is owned by the web server (www in
your case?), it can be drwxrws--- (2770).

Subordinate directories should be drwxrwsr-x (2775), and subordinate
files should be -rw-rw-r-- (0664),and everything should be group
mailman and owner doesn't matter.

bin/check_perms should find/fix this.
