1 - Don't make changes to the Defaults.py file; make them
    to the mm_cfg.py file
2 - Changes to the mm_cfg.py file do not affect existing
    lists; these changes affect future lists - they act
    as a default for them
3 - If you really want to do this from the command line
    then use ~mailman/bin/config_list to dump out the list
    configuration and make the changes there, then dump 
    them back into the list using config_lists again.
4 - Go the easy route and use the Web-admin to make your
    changes to the lists configuration.  The options you
    are looking for are in the General Options page, and
    fields are clearly marked (including the place where
    you insert the email address).
