Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.18-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Please package mailman 3 which was released today. From the announce mail :-

Twenty years ago, I attended the first Python Workshop at NIST with
about 20 other old school Pythonistas. Earlier this month I attended
PyCon 2015 in Montreal. PyCon is always exhilarating, but this one was
incredibly special for me personally, because my son was on spring break 
and joined me for the first half of the conference.

Both the Python language and its community have grown a little bit
<wink> in the intervening years, but what hasn't changed is our love of
the language, and the truly amazing people we share that love with.  The 
Python community really is one of the very best open source communities 
on the planet.

The best community inside that great Python family has to be the GNU
Mailman team. They're all smart and cool, fun to hang out with, and fun
to hack with. With diverse backgrounds, each and every one are good
friends and valued technical peers. As has been the case for the last
few years, we've sprinted on Mailman 3, getting lots of great work done, 
but never quite getting something we were satisfied enough with to 
release. The first alpha of Mailman 3 was released a little over 7 years 
ago.

And so I'm here --and on behalf of Abhilash, Aurélien, Florian, John,
Mark, Stephen, Sumana, Terri, our GSoC students, and all the great
people who have contributed over the years-- to proudly announce the
official release of GNU Mailman 3.0, code named "Show Don't Tell".

Mailman 3 is really a suite of 5 tools:

  * The core, which provides the mail delivery engine, the unified user
model, moderation and modification of email messages, and interfaces to
external archivers;

  * Postorius, our new Django-based web user interface for users and list
    administrators;

  * HyperKitty, our new Django-based web archiver, providing rich access
to the historical record of mailing list traffic;

  * mailman.client, the official Python bindings to the core's REST API;

  * mailman-bundler, a set of scripts to make it easy to deploy the full
    suite inside Python virtual environments.

What's new about Mailman 3?  Well, lots!  Some highlights include:

  * Backed by a relational database;

  * True support for multiple domains, with no cross-domain mailing list
naming restrictions;

  * One user account to manage all your subscriptions on a site;

  * The core's functionality exposed through an administrative REST+JSON
API;

  * All passwords hashed by default, and no monthly password reminders!

  * Users can post to lists via the web interface;

  * Built-in archive searching!

and more.  Tons more.

There will be things you love about Mailman 3, and things you don't
like. You'll glimpse great possibilities and glaring holes.  You'll be
excited and frustrated.  Such is life with an all-volunteer free
software project.

For the things you like, and the exciting possibilities, we encourage
you to experiment, to do wacky things we haven't thought of, integrate
it with your own tools, or just carefully go about deploying a Mailman 3 
system.  Tell us how you're using it!

For the things you don't like, we invite you to join us.  Come to the
mailing list <mailman-developers at python.org> and talk with us.  Submit
bug reports and pull requests.  Help us close the gaps and make Mailman
3 better.

Whether your interests are for Internet RFCs, web site development,
operations, or you just want to find a fun Python project to hack on
with cool people, as they say, contributions are welcome.

See the release notes, as well as links to download each component:

You probably want to start with the bundler and let it grab and install all
the other parts.
