mailman has its own issues. mailman2 is written in Python 2 which is EOL
(though <https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2312> has someone saying they're
working on a Python 3 port). mailman3 is a complete rewrite and its web
interface (subscription management and archives) has a huge pile of web
application dependencies that are hard to ensure long term security
support for on a stable distribution.
(mailman2's default archiver has its own issues - its email address
munging renders patches to Texinfo documentation pretty unreadable, for
example - but I don't think it's hard to link mailman, either 2 or 3, up
to other archive software, such as the existing MHonArc setup.)
