It's absurd. Let's call it alternative facts: eMail is 50 years old
and Mailman is 25 years old, even Mailman 2.1.19 is from 2018.

I raised https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797702 about
upgrading to Mailman 3 and received the following reply:

Of course Mailman 3 had run on Fedora 29 for years. My recollection of
Derek's signature at the time:

In addition to not emailing passwords back to users in clear text I
highlighted through the mailing list Mailman 3 has a forum-like
interface with search facilities.

I understand Derek manages the Mail server for the community and the
configuration isn't public.

Lastly, I acknowledge and thank Derek for the time and effort he
freely gives to me as a member of the community in support of Gnucash.
