Mailman doesn't put it there. It just puts the list's e-mail address.
This changes in 2.1.6 to add the list's 'description' so the From:
will look like the Cc: does above.

It's there to facilitate replying to the list when the list is fully
personalized. In this case, it's redundant because the list is also
anonymous. This is fixed in 2.1.6. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1117618&group_id=103&atid=300103
for a 2.1.5 patch.
