If Mailman 2.1 meets their needs now, why won't it continue to do so as it is? (Aside: I still sometimes use Adobe Reader 9 for Linux on my desktop even though it has been unsupported and unavailable from Adobe for years.)
Weighing in on this question alone, Mailman 2 does everything that I actually need a mail list manager to do for me, and everything I anticipate needing it to do in the future.

It's not that I need anything Mailman 2 doesn't do. (Except run on Python 3.) It's that I need Python 2 to be gone, dead and buried with a fork stuck in it. I'm just waiting for Gentoo's Mailman 3 ebuild to be flagged stable.
