There are multiple ways to do this. It depends on whether you have other
virtual hosts and if so, if they should also be able to access mailman.

In the simplest case, just put the various things for the mailman config
such as

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin
Alias   /pipermail/  /path/to/mailman/archives/public/

<Directory "/path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/">
    Options ExecCGI
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory "/path/to/mailman/archives/public">
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

directly in the mailman https virtual host.
