The extra Gentoo documentation for Mailman could use a little precision. Should
take about 2 minutes to change! :)

/usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.9_rc1/README.gentoo.gz

Right at the top, there are instructions to "add -D MAILMAN to the
/etc/conf.d/apache2 file". At first I thought I was supposed to add "-D
MAILMAN" all by itself on a single line at the end of the file. The
documentation should say something like "add the -D MAILMAN flag to the
APACHE2_OPTS variable".

Second, right before the instructions on changing the /etc/mail/aliases, there
should be a note for Postfix users to read the last section of the document. I
followed the instructions and ended up modifying the file only to find out that
I should not have done that. I had already read the installation instructions
on Mailman's website before, but I had forgotten that exception when I was
actually installing Mailman.

diff for the README.gentoo file

Here's my take on how it could be phrased.

Also, the dodoc README.gentoo by default creates a .bz2 file, not a .gz file
(yes, nitpicking).
