In Apache, you need within the VirtualHost block for example.com or in a
global section

ScriptAlias /mailman/       /path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/

<Directory "/path/to/mailman/cgi-bin/">
    Options ExecCGI
    Require all granted
</Directory>

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$   /mailman/listinfo

These are for Apache 2.4. For 2.2 and earlier, instead of

    Require all granted

you need

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node10.html>.

If you ereally mean literally 'example.org' you can't access that from
outside your local network. Putting an entry in /etc/hosts will work for
the local machine (only).

If example.org is an example, what you need is an A record in DNS for
the domain.
