I am trying to import a list with no archives to keep it simple while I prove out the process. If I run the mailman import21 comment as my user, I get the following errors:

This is the issue. I don't know how the Debian packages do this, but I recommend having a 'mailman' user that owns everything and running commands as that user.
The Debian package uses user list for this. It also provides a command
mailman-wrapper which takes care of running mailman commands as this user.
It would be awesome if the upstream /usr/bin/mailman command could take care of this automatically, making the wrapper command obsolete.
