I've managed to mess up the permissions on mailman as a result of a typo. who should own /var/log/mailman? I am getting the error below. If it isn't permissions on logs, I'd appreciate help in determining what I need to fix. I am running Mailman on Debian. I must admit, I feel rather foolish.

In most cases Mailman's directories should be drwxrwsr-x and be group 'mailman'. I'm not sure if the owner is important, but it's often root.
Your trace shows:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck'
mailmanctl is trying to read the configuration for the 'mailman' site list and is unable to do so. This is where the permission issue is.
Have you tried running
bin/check_perms
