Hello there. How would I go about debugging mailman, by -- for example -- polluting the .py libraries with print or assert statements? If I do that (which seems like a pretty thoughtless idea), the output would end up .. in /dev/null? It would probably be better to write to file in stead?

Output to stderr from the queue runners (the running Mailman processes) is copied to Mailman's error log so you can print to sys.stderr and the output goes to the error log.
You can also use Mailman.Logging.Syslog.syslog() calls to write to a 'debug' or other log (which will be created if necessary).
