I'm experience a setgid problem with mailmain on postfix on F20 as well:

This is the error I am getting:


<list>: Command died with status 1:
    "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post list". Command output: Traceback
    (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/post", line 69,
    in <module>     main()   File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/post", line 64, in
    main     tolist=1, _plaintext=1)   File
    "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 136, in enqueue

I installed mailman-2.1.15-16.fc20 from updates-testing but continued getting the same error.

We need setgid on /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman as well.  I was able to get things working by running chmod g+s /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman as root.
