Yeah, I made this change because it makes Postfix installation much easier. With that MTA, you want your mail programs running under user.group mailman, so that default makes the most sense (i.e. a simple "configure ; make install" Just Works).
Am I being too biased towards Postfix to the detriment of other MTAs?
Well, I do get the impression that Postfix is the Official MTA of Mailman, although you're welcome to use one of those *sniff* Other MTA's...
