So, I have volunteered to spearhead an effort to add one or two more

2.x. Who's with me on this?
This is another long thread with many interesting points of view.
I agree that new installations should probably use Mailman 3.x and
trivial installations should migrate from Mailman 2.x to 3.x sooner
rather than later. On the other hand, I don't believe that there is
currently a burning need for large, complicated Mailman 2.x
installations to hurry up and migrate to 3.x already.
The FreeBSD Project runs an awful lot of very active mailing lists on
Mailman 2.x. It's probably inevitable that we will eventually upgrade
to Mailman 3.x. Given how active our mailing lists are and what Big
Scary Daemons we have in our mailflow, this will likely be disruptive no
matter what.
In an effort to keep the disruption to a minimum, we're letting others
exercise the upgrade paths before us. Hopefully by the time we find
that we are forced to upgrade (for whatever reason), we won't run into
too many edge cases of migration others haven't tried before us.
Meanwhile, we're very grateful for any efforts to keep Mailman 2.x at
least slightly maintained. Count me in for helping out with that.
Thank you!
