There are several thinks wrong. At the time mm_cfg.py is imported, the
name listname is not defined. This is your syntax error, but beyond
that, you have a huge misunderstanding of how to go about what you are
trying to do.

DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER only establishes the default value for a newly
created list. What you want is to set the msg_footer attribute for the
'test-crest' and 'osl-test' lists to something like:

"""_______________________________________________
%(real_name)s mailing list
%(real_name)s@%(host_name)s
subscribe: %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s
searchable archives:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/%(time)s/date.php
"""

And then modify Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py to import time and augment
the replacement dictionary by adding {'time': time.strftime("%Y/%m")}.
