Now I'm confused, but it looks like you are looking at a local (to you)
branch that you branched at rev 7232 from lp:mailman or
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/3.0/ or some other
alias for that branch.

If you now cd to that branch on your local machine and do 'bzr pull' it
should bring you up to the head of the branch on launchpad at rev 7251.

OTOH, if that is not your local branch, but a branch you obtained
elsewhere, then you probably should not be using it as the 'official'
branch is lp:mailman.
