It's where messages that trigger errors in Mailman end up.  The goal is
to never lose a message.  If some unexpected exception occurs while
processing a message, the error gets logged and the message gets moved
to shunt.  The idea is that once the bug is fixed, you can run
bin/unshunt to move them back into the processing queue from whence they
came.
