I suspect that http: is redirecting to https: and losing the POST data (which, incidentally, indicates the wrong type of HTTP redirect is being used; there's one which is "got this form, now GET that" and a different one which is "please try again over there"); the fix for this would presumably be to tell Mailman itself that its canonical URL root is HTTPS.

This is the same issue that I'm currently fixing for the Least Authority
Enterprises mailman, so once I've done that I'll be able to fix it for the
tahoe-lafs.org one as well.
