what could be causing this?


It is caused by an attempt to get a mailman URL that contains spaces or
characters not in the printable ascii set [\x21-\x7e].

The reason behind this is to disallow CR and LF in particular. This was
a security enhancement in Mailman 2.1.9. From the NEWS

- A malicious user could visit a specially crafted URI and inject an
  apparent log message into Mailman's error log which might induce an
  unsuspecting administrator to visit a phishing site.  This has been
  blocked.  Thanks to Moritz Naumann for its discovery.

Thanks. I figured out that the GSA is appending %20 to one of our many lists name:

134.95.x.x - - [13/Sep/2016:11:33:22 +0200] "GET /mailman/listinfo/list-name%20 HTTP/1.0" 200 7630 "-" "gsa-crawler (Enterprise; T4-XXXXXXXXX; redac...@uni-koeln.de)"

Now we only have to understand why ...
