Hmm, probably I set "Hírlevél" for the list's title or something (it means
"newsletter").

Where do I set this? Just append to settings.py?

In Postorius.

I don't have this variable defined, so it's probably using the default. I
shall add it with 128.8.0.1:8000 then... But it didn't help! Restarted the
mailman service, but it still wants to fetch the template from localhost.
May it be hardcoded?

To be fair, in the past I was trying to set my mailing lists to my native
language, but then I found that many templates have no translation. In
cases like this, most software just falls back to English, which would be
fine for my use case. However, Mailman doesn't: I just noticed that empty
automatic notifications are being sent out.

Yeah, it might not be a big deal, but 8000+ ports are often used for
various local HTTP services, I may have another one running on
127.0.0.1:8000. Then true there are many ports being available, so I could
just pick a different one, but using a dedicated localhost IP like
127.8.0.1 looked just nicer. I can immediately identify the listen ports
belonging to Mailman; and I get to use the default port numbers appearing
in the documentation. Alternate port numbers might have caused confusion
later. So I just felt I got the best of both worlds with this method, and
didn't expect these problems to come along.

Is this the official bug tracker on Launchpad?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman

Would be quite convenient, as I used to file bugs for Ubuntu, so I already
have an account there. Surprised that you use Ubuntu's tracker though. I
know it's free to use, but I thought you tend towards BugZilla or something.

Hope you succeeded to pick up your wife. My replies are also sporadic
because at standard work hours I have a regular job that I must prioritize.

Yeah, certainly outsmarted. :D Unfortunately it didn't work, as I told
above.
