This should not be required because the Mailman cgi-bin/create wrapper
should be group owned by 'list' and SETGID. This means the create
script is no longer running as the group of 'www-data', it is already
running in the 'list' group, so it should not be necessary to add
'www-data' to the 'list' group.
