I doubt that this has anything to do with your problem, but the
extend.py file should not be in the /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/
directory. A list specific extend.py should be in the
/var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname>/ directory as below.

Now you do have a problem. The above import is wrong. The MailList
class __init__ method actually runs the list's extend.py when the list
is instantiated. You definitely do not want to import extend in
MailList.py.

Wrong again. The list's extend.py takes care of importing
LDAPMemberships and setting mlist._memberadaptor to the list's
LDAPMemberships instance. You don't make any changes in MailList.py.

Just put an extend.py with the specific LDAP information for that list
in that list's list/<listname>/ directory, and put LDAPMemberships.py
in the Mailman/ directory, and the extend.py mechanism already built
into MailList.py does the rest.

Looks OK. I don't know the LDAP stuff, but the stuff to make it
interface properly as the MemberAdaptor for the list is there, namely
