It is in the documentation. Defaults.py contains

The installation manual urges you to read Defaults.py
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/customizing.html>.

This is also covered in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9>.

If there is some other specific place where you feel this should be
mentioned, please let us know.
