Adam,

This footer is created in the Mailman script "htmlformat.py"
at the very bottom.

I hacked this to change the layout in my company's
installation.  It was the first Python I had ever done
(although I am well versed in Perl) and it was fairly
stressless.  I just added two lines and changed two others. 
You can see the changes I made below.
(My Joydesk account sometimes adds newlines that make it
difficult to read so I have attatched the changes as well.)

...lots of code here...
# Logo constants

# These are the URLs which the image logos link to.  The
Mailman home page now
# points at the gnu.org site instead of the www.list.org
mirror.

PYTHON_URL  = 'http://www.python.org/'
GNU_URL     = 'http://www.gnu.org/'
# added ocentrix branding
OCX_URL     = 'http://www.ocentrix.com/'
 
# The names of the image logo files.  These are
concatentated onto
# mm_cfg.IMAGE_LOGOS (not urljoined).

            return mm_cfg.IMAGE_LOGOS + file

                         )
        t.AddRow([mmlink, ocxlink])
# changed this line to apply ocentrix branding
#        t.AddRow([mmlink, pylink, gnulink, ocxlink, text])
    else:
        # use only textual links
        mmlink = Link(MAILMAN_URL,
                      'Delivered by Mailman<br>version %s' %
mm_cfg.VERSION)
        pylink = Link(PYTHON_URL, 'Python Powered')
        gnulink = Link(GNU_URL, "Gnu's Not Unix")
        ocxlink = Link(OCX_URL, "Powered by Ocentrix")
        t.AddRow([mmlink, ocxlink])
# changed this line to apply ocentrix branding
#        t.AddRow([mmlink, pylink, gnulink, ocxlink])
    return t
---------------------------------------------

I just slapped my companies logo into the directory with the
rest of them and it works fine.
