Bugzilla Bug 18351

After emerging mailman 2.1.1, I attempted to start the mailman queue runner,
and
it would not start up. 

Attempting to start it manually by doing a 'su - mailman' then 'bin/mailmanctl
start' results in this:

mailman@uotani-arisa mailman $ bin/mailmanctl start
Site list is missing: mailman

With this error, /etc/init.d/mailman fails.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-mail/mailman 2.1.1
2. Perform steps indicated at end of emerge.
3. Attempt to start qrunner by /etc/init.d/mailman start

Actual Results:  
/etc/init.d/mailman script fails to start, manual start by 
- bin/mailmanctl start
results in the error message:
Site list is missing: mailman

Expected Results:  
Mailman's qrunner should have started up properly, to provide maillist mail
transfer.

If you follow the instructions in those documents... especially the part about creating 'CREATE YOUR FIRST LIST' ... you should get it working.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. I did make my first list, as per
instructions, and still I received that message.

I believe I have 'solved' my own problem... according to the INSTALL file from
the mailman-2.1.1 tarball, it states you must create a 'mailman' site list, and
that is most likely what I need to do to fix this problem... however, this is
still a bug because:

The mailman-2.1.1 ebuild states that you can find the INSTALL file in
/usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.1/, but (at least when I emerge it, ymmv) there is
no INSTALL file, gzipped or no, in that directory post-emerge. since the
instructions  needed to fix this problem were in that file, and the
post-install instructions given by the ebuild do not mention this, I believe
the ebuild still needs to be fixed.
