| I'd tend to take this as:-
|       * Mailman is a bitch to package

Not really.  It's fairly well-behaved in my experience.  It's a
semi-large web application with some requirements, but nothing
unreasonable.

|       * RH have packaged it for a while
|       * RH found a good few of the gotchas in packaging Mailman
|       * RH have subsequently learnt from their mistakes and recently
|         have produced good packages.
|       * Other distros may do better, or may yet have to learn from their
|         mistakes :-)

Mailman has been in Debian since June 1998 (1.0b4), so we've been
working on it for a while as well.  I think our packages are of good
quality (far from perfect, but making perfect packages is _a lot_ of
work. ;)
