What log files (logs) does Mailman write?

In a source install, Mailman's log files are in /usr/local/mailman/logs/ or in logs/ in the 'var_prefix' directory.

Some packages put them in /var/log/mailman/.

The logs Mailman writes are:

bounce
information related to automated bounce processing
error
information and tracebacks from unanticipated exceptions and other error info.
fromusenet
information about posts gated from USENET via the mail-news gateway
locks
