Thank you for the bump request. 
You can help the maintainer with further information:
Does a simple bump [1] work on your system? 
Chances are high, because a first look on the bump revealed only small changes.

Comment 2 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2017-09-26 12:15:54 UTC
This is actually a security update fixing an XSS. It's likely minor and according to upstream unexploitable in common settings (e.g. apache). Probably no GLSA, but we should still handle it.

From the release notes:
    - A most likely unexploitable XSS attach that relies on the Mailman web
      server passing a crafted Host: header to the CGI environment has been
      fixed.  Apache for one is not vulnerable.  Thanks to Alqnas Eslam.

PS: At the moment sourcefoge is offline, i.e. I had to change SRC_URI to https://launchpad.net/mailman mirror manually.
