Unfortunately, there is a bug when upgrading lists (at least from MM
2.1.2) to the Release_2_1-maint branch.
It seems to be caused by the latest SYNC_AFTER_WRITE patch:

Upgrading from version 0x20102f0 to 0x20103f0
getting rid of old source files
Updating mailing list: kpf
Updating the held requests database.
- updating old private mbox file
- updating old public mbox file
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/update", line 570, in ?
    errors = main()
  File "bin/update", line 447, in main
    errors = errors + dolist(listname)
  File "bin/update", line 334, in dolist
    mlist.Save()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 522, in Save
    self.__save(dict)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 481, in __save
    if mm_cfg.SYNC_AFTER_WRITE:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SYNC_AFTER_WRITE'
make: *** [update] Error 1

After upgrading to Release_2_1-maint, none of my lists would save, so I
had to use the Release_2_1_3 branch instead. :)
