I don't know too much about mailman, so I try to guess.

The

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman

is the script which should be executed right?

The

/listinfo
&
/listinfo/users

should be the path info, right?

my suggestion:
-                fastcgi_split_path_info 
(^/cgi-bin/mailman/[^/]*)(.*)$;
+                fastcgi_split_path_info (^/cgi-bin/mailman)/(.*)$;
