Well, you can certainly do that for your own Mailman installation; just search for 'USA' and remove the string where you see it :) Whether we want that by default in the distributed Mailman is something else. I'd personally be against it, because there is a real difference between, for instance, English for the British and English for the Americans. Calling it English (USA) at least makes it clear which version it is, even if there isn't (yet) a British variant. Or is there ?
I think having "English (USA)" appear as the only available language is more annoying for non-Americans than any Americanisms that might be in Mailman (and which are to be expected in most software anyway). So far, I've only noticed one, the spelling of "internationalisation", and that only appears on an admin page. Unless alternative English translations appear I would prefer the option to just be "English".
To the original poster, if you haven't already discovered this: The languages can be renamed at the bottom of the Mailman/Defaults.py file. "internationalization" appears in Mailman/Gui/Language.py
