You could create an other/ directory on your server and put your
.htaccess and a symlink (named say listinfo) to
$prefix/cgi-bin/listinfo in that directory. Then you could modify the
the following section of the definition of listinfo_overview() in
$prefix/Mailman/listinfo.py from

    for name in listnames:
        mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0)
        if mlist.advertised:
            if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \
                ...

to something like

    for name in listnames:
        mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0)
        if mlist.advertised or (
                os.environ.get('SCRIPT_NAME').startswith('/other')):
            if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \
                ...

and add the appropriate ScriptAlias to the web server so that
http://www.example.com/other/listinfo will invoke your symlink.
