Both Mailman 2.1 and Mailman 3 lists have a created_at attribute.

In Mailman 2.1 this is a floating point number of seconds since the
epoch. There is a withlist script at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/created.py> (mirrored at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/created.py>) to display this timestamp
in human readable form.

In Mailman 3 this is a datetime.datetime object. you can display it in
mailman shell, e.g.,

$ mailman shell -l test.example.net
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
The variable 'm' is the test.example.net mailing list
>>> m.created_at
datetime.datetime(2018, 8, 4, 18, 12, 19, 331435)
>>>

in this case, the list was created on 2018-04-18 at 18:12:19.331435
