For public archives to work, the web server needs to be able to search the archives/private directory that the archives/public/ symlinks point into. Normally this only requires that the archives/private/ directory itself, not any subordinates, be either o+x or owned by the web server user. The subordinate LISTNAME and LISTNAME.mbox directories are normally rwxrwsr-x and Mailman's group so Mailman can read and write them and subordinates will be created in Mailman's group and the web server can read and search them. It's only archives/private itself which is in Mailman's group and either rwxrws--x or if rwxrws---, owned by the web server user. Otherwise, ownership doesn't matter.
