I mean the ones which I think in your case are in /var/lib/mailman.
Those are the ones that need to be writable by the 'mailman' group. The
ones in /usr/lib/mailman only need to be readable.

I'm not talking about the SETGID bit on the file mode. I'm talking about
the `mount` command that mounts the file system that contains
/usr/lib/mailman. look in /etc/fstab. The options field should not have
'nosuid'.
