Yes, I did setup a Mailman 3 instance on that server, but haven't
actually looked at it recently. I was just playing around and probably
did not create the Mailman user or Group, but I should have. I hooked
everything up though and it was working. There must be configuration
files for gunicorn too, to deploy Postorius and Hyperkitty.

I guess it should be upgraded to the latest mailman version. I installed
everything from the latest master branch (that time) instead from the
released version. Although, a fresh install using bundler won't hurt. We
can then upgrade our own servers before rolling out the releases ;-)
