mailman default RedirectMatch problem?

[Warren Togami]

/etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf:
#
#  httpd configuration settings for use with mailman.
#

ScriptAlias /mailman/ @MMDIR@/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ @VARMMDIR@/archives/public/
<Directory @VARMMDIR@/archives>
         Options +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>

# Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's
# name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended).

# RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo


On a FC1 system I uncommented out the bottom line and set my domain 
name.  Then following the REDHAT install directions I created a mailing 
list called "mailman".  Unfortunately this seems to cause problems.

http://www.example.com/mailman/
This URL properly redirects to
http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman
but this URL also redirects to
http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

It seems that the RedirectMatch happens for any directory in the path 
ending with "/mailman[/]".  When I changed the rule to read:

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman
Then this URL works without redirecting by mistake.

Is this a good fix to add to the default /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf? 
  This is currently in the mailman in FC1 testing, so this should revise 
that test update I think.
