Okay, I seem to be out of my depth. There are issues I wasn't aware of.

With respect to your previous message:

There's a description of how this is meant to work in the second to last
paragraph of (but you probably know this)
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp

However, because of debian/patches/10_wrapper_uid.dpatch, Debian Mailman
doesn't check the gid if it's less than 100 or equal to 65534. The reason
for this is partly explained in bugs #36010 and #89848. As a result probably
neither the values of --with-mail-gid nor MAILMAN_GID matter very much.
