About restructuring/refreshing, have you plan or think about upgrade mailman 2.1 to mailman 3.x with something like hyperkitty ?
Not high up on my radar. Last I looked, mailman 2.1 -> 3.x upgrade was ‘buggy’ (their term, not mine). Has that changed? If it is a relatively simple upgrade path, I am happy to do it.
I run mailman a few places and recently looked into upgrading. It's definitely a mess. It's broken up into a bunch of different python modules and pulls in an impressive number of non-base modules. It uses django which is great but they don't provide a working django config, just a reference. After a fair amount of effort in setting it up I gave up. Funny story. Early in my python career I went to pycon with a friend who wanted to stay after and do sprints for a few days. When ended up working on mailman3. This was in 2005 and as far as I can tell it still isn't to the point of being very usable. Craig
