"doesn't require a web server" - man, talk about one-eyed :-)
The truth is that there are plenty of people out there who REQUIRE a GUI to
do anything. I agree that ezmlm is great - but mailman allows you to manage
all your mailing-lists (that a single Mailman site houses of course) via a
GUI interface - no more back-and-forth with mail messages trying to do the
same thing.
I'd say RedHat now has a non-trivial large subscriber base of people not
"used to" (read that how you will) to using a MUA as a management tool.
They want a GUI.
