Q1: is there a better way to start mailman in some kind of non forking mode? Q2: is it possible to run mailman3 supervised?
Yes, you can run the "master" command in Mailman 3 to run it in foreground instead. That is what we do for Docker images.
I am not super familiar with mailman 2, but it uses the same runners. Perhaps, it is possible to do the same with mailman2?
Mailman 2 is different. There is no "master" command. mailmanctl forks itself and that becomes the master watcher which (re)starts the qrunners However, you can run
qrunner --runner=All
which will not fork and will just loop running all the qrunners in one
process. I.e., instead of mailmanctl start, just run qrunner --runner=All which will run as a single process without forking.
Note that this mode of operation is seldom used and may be buggy. In particular, see <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1818205> and <https://code.launchpad.net/~mluto/mailman/qrunnersleep/+merge/363767>
