Changing the mailman access url
I have manually installed mailman and moved the files. This is on the same server. Now my problem is the urls: I have http://FQDN/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/LISTNAME which I would like to change to http://FQDN/mailman/admin/skunkworks - ideally, just eliminating the /cgi-bin/ bit.

This does not look like a Mailman configuration issue. This is something easily done in your Apache configuration.
Try this:
ScriptAlias /mailman /usr/lib64/mailman/cgi-bin/(or whatever your actual path is)
<Location /mailman>
SetHandler cgi-script
Options +MultiViews
Require all granted

You need a couple of things. You need to configure your web server to do the right thing. For example, with Apache you may have
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/ /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/
and that needs to be changed to
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/
You also need to change something like
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/'
to
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
and run fix_url on all lists. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030616>.
