Ah ha!  That got me to the right place.  My $prefix (because of the
Gentoo ebuild) was /var/mailman.  I always thought that was odd. 
Anyway, I checked in /var/mailman/lists and everything looked good.  So,
then I did a locate for other directories named lists and found
/usr/local/mailman/lists.  Apparently, someone at Gentoo thought
/var/mailman was weird also.  So, in a recent ebuild they moved the
mailman home to /usr/local/mailman.  However, it didn't copy over any
lists from old installations.  I'm goodtimes now.  Thanks Richard!
