That's doesn't provide the complete answer though. A Mailman 3
installation requires multiple packages to be installed, including:

  * Mailman Core
  * Postorius
  * MailmanClient
  * HyperKitty
  * HyperKitty Mailman plugin
  * Django
  * uwsgi / gunicorn / etc

Obviously, the delegation of separate functions of the system to
separate packages is in many respects entirely sensible, but it
also seems likely that this complexity is the cause of the very low
take-up of Mailman 3.
