What does "ls -ld /var/lib/mailman/archives/private" show?
What does "ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/create" (assuming that's the
correct path to the create wrapper) show?

In general, the 'owner' of mailman's files doesn't matter. Everything is
controlled by group permissions. All the qrunners run as group
"mailman". The web CGI wrappers are supposed to be SETGID and group
"mailman" so they run with effective group "mailman".
