Or find a PPA (there are a couple out there), and whack the necessary
lines in sources.list(5), then

    apt-get update && apt-get (upgrade|install) mailman

 -- you may need to check pinning (see 'man apt_preferences')

Those with a more cavalier streak may find grabbing the .deb for a
newer (base) version and thence 'dpkg -i''ing the .deb works, ( a
drawback is you won't necessarily get security updates), or indeed,
looking in backports.

YMMV.
