This is unusual. Normally the queue that is backlogged is qfiles/out
because of slow delivery from Mailman to the MTA.

See some of the hits at
<https://www.google.com/#q=site:mail.python.org+inurl:mailman-users+backlogged+queue>

I have never seen a backlogged 'in' queue unless Mailman is not running
at all.

However, in this case, messages are being delivered so Mailman is running.

You say it is not your server, yet you seem to at least have access to
Mailman's files.

Have you checked Mailman's logs (/usr/local/mailman/logs/*).

What Mailman version is this? If it is 2.1.18 or newer and a list has
dmarc_moderation_action set to other than Accept, it could be long
delays in DNS lookups of the From: domain's DMARC policy.
