The reason this happens is that launchd expects the processes it
launches to stick around. They must not daemonize. But mailmanctl

modified their own distribution of Mailman so that mailmanctl
behaves differently. I'd suggest comparing the two.
FWIW in MM3, the two functions of mailmanctl have been split into two
separate scripts. bin/master is the master queue runner watcher script
and it does not daemonize. bin/mailmanctl is simply the control
interface to master and it does daemonize. There may not be too much
Mailman3-ish about the new scripts so it could be backported (though
it probably requires Python 2.6 or possibly 2.5).
