Hi there,
Mailman is so old-fashioned as name and man dominated in respect to the gender discussions. It is time to rename it to Mail-Miss, MailMom or Mail-Woman for a while?.
Better neutral: (MailHuman or even:) Mailpeople.
If you de-attach from the "postman" and "running man" probably a "Mailmatch" or best: "Mailme" would fit. (Also Mailmoon and Mailmood are possible).

Otherwise add a star to the Mailman* to indicate it stands for men, women and divers people delivering mail, and give a press release.
Otherwise it might be a mailmisery.
Thanks for a change with the next update release. Regards Tom

Not to mention literally millions of URLs that point to messages in archives. None of the above are under our control, and the string is likely to pop up in all kinds of unpredictable places.
If you want to be helpful, try your hand at a much easier problem: a plan for migrating Mailman's git repos from the use of the now- deprecated "master" branch to something less offensive ("main") or more descriptive ("development", "release"). That's something that if done correctly on our end, will propagate to many, perhaps most downstream repos and forks automatically, and is easy to explain how to complete the changeover.
