On FreeBSD they ought to be in /usr/local/etc/mailman.cfg however I don't see any indication as to what I should put in this file and if it was in /usr/local/etc/mailman.cfg then how would mailman find it?
It wouldn’t by default. Right now Mailman does not search for /usr/local/etc/mailman.cfg, but that wouldn’t be a difficult change to add. I’m not sure whether that would makes sense as a general default or not. I’m not up on the FreeBSD conventions and standards here; can you explain why /usr/local/etc is preferred over /etc on that distro?
I was hoping Abhilash would chime in here, because I think John is using the docker image and there's probably a specific path for mailman.cfg.
As far as what goes in it, it could even be empty if you want to accept all the defaults, but you probably want at least
[mailman] site_owner: real_person@example.com
I expect if you do
find -name mailman.cfg
in your installation, you'll find at least examples.
