[Bug 375657] [NEW] Please add "-q" to logrotate.d script

[greenmoss]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mailman

The logrotate.d script that comes with mailman sends root the message
"Re-opening all log files" every time it runs
"/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl reopen". This is only informational,
and does not point to any problems. Thus, it should probably be silenced
using the "-q" switch:

        postrotate
            [ -f '/var/run/mailman/mailman.pid' ] && /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -q reopen || exit 0

Note that there are four occurrences of "mailmanctl" invoked from this
script at differing frequencies, so all would need to be updated.
