Thank you, Matthew! You really summarized for lazy person - me - the situation. Whereas mailman2 was brilliantly written by brilliant programmers - even with use of "sneaky snake" python, mailman3 is not such. Maybe, the programmers team has changed. Or maybe - like in Mozilla Foundation - the jumpy nonsense "production director" came there... All in all, this just confirms the vitality of second question: What is best replacement for mailman? What to migrate mail lists to?
