I am trying to determine how many bounces are occurring and to who, but cannot figure out where to look.
Specifically I have one user who is not receiving notes and I am wondering if it is at her end or mine.
I went to the administrator panel, the 2 most obvious possibilities seemed to be "bounce processing" and "membership management" but could not find anything.
How can I see bounced mail?

It would help if you are more precise about this. Never received anything since subscription? Check the subscribed address for accuracy. I'm not sure how you can check for invisible characters (like space and tab), Mark would know. Suddenly stopped receiving, and nothing since? Intermittently? If so, is it only her posts she doesn't receive? (If yes, betcha she's a Gmail user).
and I am wondering if it is at her end or mine.
Check the membership management page for her address, and see if delivery has been disabled for bouncing. If not, the mail is still going out from your end.
You could also check logs/bounce, but you'll only find how many bounces are being processed in total, not whose.
You could also check the MTA queues and logs for temporary and permanent failures to her address.

The delivery status notification? As far as I know you can only see it normally when it's an unknown format. It doesn't contain any interesting information that isn't in other places, anyway.

For some time, Mailman has not allowed subscription of an address with whitespace or 'invalid' characters, but if you have command line access,
bin/list_members -i <listname>
will print any addresses with invalid characters although the invalid characters ma not themselves be displayed.

Actually, the bounce log shows the list, user and score for each bounce from a list member address.
In addition, you can see the user's current bounce score if > 0 by clicking the user's address in the Membership Management...-> Membership List page to go to her user options page where that info is displayed.
Also, there is a withlist script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/get_bounce_info.py> which will display bounce info for members that have any.

The actual DSN is not available except that in the case where bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is Yes, the one DSN that triggers the disable is included in the notice to the owner.
