I have some ideas about debugging, but it's complicated and I won't have
time for more detail until late this afternoon, but what happens if you
give the shell command

/usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver admindb

You should get a "we hit a bug" response and Mailman's error log should
have something like

admin(5110): Traceback (most recent call last):
admin(5110):   File "scripts/driver", line 111, in run_main
admin(5110):     if not request_method.lower() in ['get', 'post', 'head']:
admin(5110): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

I expect you'll see this and we need to set some environment variables
to get further, but more later ...
