Partly, but it adds an important step as well:

    You should also ensure that data/aliases and data/aliases.db are
    group writable. E.g.:

        % chmod 0664 data/aliases*

Did you catch that part and try it?

- -rw-rw----  1 mailman mailman 5.4K Mar  3 09:32 data/aliases
- -rw-rw----  1 mailman mailman  12K Mar  3 09:32 data/aliases.db
