There is an inconsistency in your old list objects in the
lists/LISTNAME/config.pck files.

The section of code throwing the AttributeError on 'posters' is trying
to convert Mailman 2.0.x moderation settings to Mailman 2.1.x
equivalents. It should only be executed if the list has a 'moderated'
attribute which no Mailman 2.1.x list should have.

Do

bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck

on one of these lists. Look for an attribute 'moderate' and any with
'posters' in the name. What is the moderate attribute? What is the
data_version attribute?

If you need help, you can edit that output to remove all the actual
email addresses and passwords and post that.
