How about "user that installed Mailman" or "user that Mailman's runners run as"?

I installed it as root.

From "man useradd" in Linux:

   -r, --system
       Create a system account.

       System users will be created with no aging information in
       /etc/shadow, and their numeric identifiers are chosen in the
       SYS_UID_MIN-SYS_UID_MAX range, defined in /etc/login.defs, instead
       of UID_MIN-UID_MAX (and their GID counterparts for the creation of
       groups).

       Note that useradd will not create a home directory for such an
       user, regardless of the default setting in /etc/login.defs
       (CREATE_HOME). You have to specify the -m options if you want a
       home directory for a system account to be created.
