Oh, we did test it for a while but this is the kind of problem that you do not encounter lightly in a test environment. And on top it would have helped if the mailman dev team would have published this major change in bounce processing!

This new VERP probe is ridiculous. One of my customer on a cpanel system had thousands of unsubscribes because of it. Why? Cpanel does not support in its current default exim setting VERP and there was no need for it because it is not on by default in mailman. Now out of the blue it is used even though VERP is turned off in mm_mfg.py And since this mailman VERP probe is unforgiving it unsubscribes right away! Not a good thing at all and the complaints from customers are coming in big time........
So you deployed a new software into production without first making there were no negative impacts? Nice QC there.
