In the past I've found the config_list command helpful here.

You can also modify most of the default settings used for list creation.
You'll find them in ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py. To change them, copy
the settings over to mm_cfg.py and then modify them in there.

As an example, I *always* modify:
  DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE = 30

and set it to at least 100
