[Comment 5 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2016-12-08 22:10:21 UTC]

A bit of dabbling suggests that there is no config file (or means to fix) the CGIUID variable (nor any of the others mentioned in the ewarn!) to emerge if the default CGI user is not apache (eg. lighttpd instead). This is easy to fix by prefixing on the command-line eg. 'MAILMAN_CGIUID=lighttpd emerge mailman'.
