There is a corrupt request with a request id that doesn't exist.

Try something like:

 >>> from mailman.interfaces.
 >>> requestdb = IListRequests(m)
 >>> for req in requestdb.held_requests:
...     if req.request_type == RequestType.held_message:
...         if not requestdb.get_request(req.id):
...             print(f'Bad request id: {req.id}, deleting')
...             requestdb.delete_request(req.id)
...
