Can you elaborate on the security features of Mailman and how it ensures a safe environment for email discussions?
No. The question is poorly posed. You need to say against what threats you want to protect your discussions.
I can say this much: Mailman 3 does try to provide good authentication of users and a consistent model of authorization for access to its databases (user profiles, list user rosters and configuration). Mailman 2 does not.
Neither Mailman 2 nor Mailman 3 tries to provide cryptographic security (encryption or authentication) of list traffic, on the wire or at rest (ie, in archives).
Other than that, you have to define what you mean by "safe", and then I can tell you whether Mailman can satisfy that requirement and what you have to sacrifice to get it.
