These ownerships and permissions are wrong. Both files should be have
group = Mailman's group for this instance (mailman-zaubert.net?), not
group nobody, and aliases.db should be group writable.

The owner of aliases.db must also be  Mailman's group for this instance
as it appears to be. The owner of aliases is immaterial. Usually is is
the user who last created a list with newlist or the web server user.

I don't know how these files got the ownership and permissions they
have, but I think this is the issue.

To answer your specigik question, the web create process runs with user
= the web server user and group = Mailman's group for that instance.

Once you fix the above, you may run into SELinux issues, but the above
needs to be fixed first.
