OK, I took a quick look at your stuff from
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/ldapsync/files/>.

I think your issue is you rely on extend.py to instantiate
FileMemberships and reload the member data when the list is instantiated.

I suspect your Mailman is 2.1.14 or older which maintains a list cache
in the qrunners so the list gets instantiated and cached and further
references to the list object retrieve it from the cache and update it
as needed, but it is never again actually instantiated so extend.py is
never called again.
