Hi All I was wondering, is there a way to tell when a mailing list was first created?

Both Mailman 2.1 and Mailman 3 lists have a created_at attribute.
In Mailman 2.1 this is a floating point number of seconds since the epoch. There is a withlist script at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/created.py> (mirrored at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/created.py>) to display this timestamp in human readable form.
In Mailman 3 this is a datetime.datetime object. you can display it in mailman shell, e.g.,
$ mailman shell -l test.example.net Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell The variable 'm' is the test.example.net mailing list
m.created_at datetime.datetime(2018, 8, 4, 18, 12, 19, 331435)
in this case, the list was created on 2018-04-18 at 18:12:19.331435
