I would create one list and tweak it via the web interface to get it
the way I wanted and then write it's configuration to a file with the
bin/config_list Mailman command line tool.

Then I would create a shell or similar script to loop over the list
names and run the following

bin/newlist        to create the list
bin/config_list    to configure it from the file created above, and
bin/add_members    to import the members from the list's <CR> delimited,
                   ascii email address file.
