Changed note about just going to the admindb page to fix it.

More easily, if you click one of the links in the admindb page, the -1 requests goes away. | |

3.38. Why am I receiving moderation requests that read ...mailing list has -1 request(s) waiting... ?
A newly created mailman 2.1.5 list will email bogus moderator requests until a genuine one has been handled. The email posted says:
"Subject: -1 LISTNAME moderator request(s) waiting The LISTADDRESS mailing list has -1 request(s) waiting for your consideration at: WEBADDRESS Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. This notice of pending requests, if any, will be sent out daily."
The cause is that request.pck is either missing or it doesn't contain the version info.
The workaround is simply to create a real moderation request (which automatically creates a request.pck) or to copy a valid request.pck file over from another list.
There's also a patch available at sourceforge, which should fix this. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=970383&group_id=103&atid=300103
You can also fix it by hand:
$ bin/withlist -l mylistwithoutrequests >>> print m.NumRequestsPending() -1 >>> m.Save() >>> m.Unlock() >>> {ctrl-D}
If you simply go to the admindb link (WEBADDRESS in the above example) and log in, that should fix it.
