Interesting - list transitions from 2->3 are supposed to be quite 
difficult, it's really a different piece of software that happens to 
still be called Mailman, not a simple version transition. When I've 
asked about other lists (hosted elsewhere on a "free to open source 
projects" basis), been told pretty much "ain't gonna happen".  I'm 
surprised python.org would have made such a move without letting anyone 
know, though I'm not surprised there was some motivation since Mailman 2 
is pinned forever to the slightly out-of-date (sic) Python 2....
