The Mailman API is documented in the source.

You need something like

import re
from Mailman import Utils
from Mailman.Message import UserNotification
NTEXT = """The text of
the
notification.
"""
NRECIP = 'recipient at example.com'
NFROM = 'sender at example.com'
NSUBJ = 'Notification subject'

def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
    subject = Utils.oneline(msg['subject'], 'us-ascii')
    if re.search('.*rror.*', subject, re.IGNORECASE)
        nmsg = UserNotification(NRECIP, NFROM, NSUBJ, NTEXT)
        nmsg.send(mlist)
