yes, the symlink is there, but nevertheless when mailman starts,
python tries to compile the file to /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman
because this is where the entire package is

python will try to write it and fail and this triggers the SELinux AVC denial

thanks for the contact, I will look if he's still here
The solution I created is to create a new script called
"mailman-update-cfg"'which contains the following:
#!/usr/bin/python
import py_compile
py_compile.compile("/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py")
in the mm_cfg.py there's a note, that if you use SELinux,
you have to run this script as root after you change
the configuration
what do you think about this? it's more of a work-around,
but it can be a part of the mailman init script in /etc/init.d
