I like it. However, I believe that FHS recommends using /var/lib/mailman rather than /var/mailman for those components. Per FHS 2.3: Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of /var. Such directories should only be added if they have some system-wide implication, and in consultation with the FHS mailing list. An application (or a group of inter-related applications) must use a subdirectory of /var/lib for its data. So, if you're going to make changes per FHS, change that one too...
