If you want to actually develop mailman, you shouldn't use bundler for that. Check out the following
two pages that help you with some git knowledge and setting up your dev environment.
http://wiki.list.org/DEV/HowToContributeGit
http://wiki.list.org/DEV/SetupDevEnvironment

You should create an issue on gitlab https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues if there isn't one
already. This issue can be used to discuss specifics about the implementation.

You could try the irc channel #mailman on freenode for help in case you need something. You can of
course also post to this list.

All the code regarding the rest interface lives in src/mailman/rest

I hope this get's you started,
Simon
