It's really more that I haven't yet tried, having had a working
mailman 2 installation for so long. mailman3 comes packaged with
Debian 10 (buster). I think that mailman2 will be dropped as of
Debian 11 (bullseye). I don't relish the procedure to upgrade an
existing 2 installation to 3 though admittedly I haven't looked into
it.
I might just switch over to Discourse instead.

I don't think it's a good idea - it's a dead end.

Discourse? 😀 Noted as not easy to install itself.
If possible upgrade to Debian buster and give the packages mailman3
a go.
Cheers,
Andy
