Yes, I'm saying that and that you will be able to set from_is_list via the web GUI as soon as you have updated mm_cfg.py with "ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST = Yes", but you still have to restart Mailman before the setting becomes effective.
The reason for this is the code which processes the from_is_list setting also checks the ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST setting and this code is in a handler which runs as part of IncomingRunner which is a persistent process and which won't re-import mm_cfg unless Mailman is restarted, but the web admin CGI is a new process invoked by the web server for each interaction, so it always gets the current mm_cfg.
Cool. Is there a doc anywhere that explains the mailman internals?
