It appears cPanel Mailman is now running under Python 3. I'm not surprised there are issues. Migrating Mailman 2.1 to Python 3 is not an easy task,
The other day, I read in the Mailman roadmap it said they were upgrading to Python 3. It also said they were "taking over the maintenance of Mailman." Not sure what they meant, but I guess we are starting to see the fallout of this!
I would guess it means they don't want to support migration of Mailman 2 sites to Mailman 3, and it's less effort to port Mailman 2 to Python 3. and support that product for them in the long run.
I don't think this is going to be good for their customers (who have traditionally treated us as the first responders even for cPanel- specific features), but we'll see. Perhaps the contingent who have been advocating for a continuation of the Mailman 2 product for a decade will join the cPanel user/development community. That combination might have legs if cPanel is smart.
