I would think the Qmail.py in the bug tracker would be better than 
qmail-to-mailman.py, but I'd think qmail-to-mailman.py could be adapted 
to include VERP as well.  We moved on from qmail a few years ago, but 
I'd suggest trying:  (meaning, I have no way to test this :-)  (and 
assuming the default VERP_FORMAT, and that you have no lists with 
'-bounces' in their names)

You may also want to update your qmail-to-mailman.py to include the 
-subscribe and -unsubscribe suffixes.
