the script is there in:

but are the results logged anywhere, perhaps?
/var/log/cron will tell you if it's being run?
Is mailman's crontab installed in /var/spool/cron/mailman or somewhere in /etc/cron.d? Note that the format of these crontabs is different. Don't make changes unless you know what you're doing.
See
man crontab man 5 crontab
cron/gate_news normally logs nothing, but if there is any exception or other output, it will be mailed to the address specified in a MAILTO= setting in the crontab or if none, to the user it ran under which is normally the 'mailman' list.
