I can confirm that the list was set to 0 for max recipients and message size. In addition, I checked the base.py and the defaults are the ones in the message. If I went ahead and modified the settings in base.py, would this immediately to all existing lists in Mailman?

No. It would only affect lists created after you did that.

I suggest the following mailman shell interaction

$ ./mailman shell
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell
Use commit() to commit changes.
Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit.
Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not.

 >>> for mlist in getUtility(IListManager):
...     if (mlist.max_num_recipients == 10 and
...         mlist.max_message_size == 40):
...         print(mlist.list_id)
...

This will print the list ids of all lists with max_num_recipients = 10 and max_message_size = 40

Your held message notice is for one of those lists.
