I have said multiple times that Postorius and HyperKitty are just examples and are part of Mailman 3 because we need something and that's what we've got, and also that efforts to port Mailman 2.1 to Python 3 or add new features to Mailman 2.1 would be better spent building a lightweight (e.g. Flask based) web UI to manage Mailman 3 via its REST API.
Yep. Sorry, that wasn't meant to sound like criticism ... while it's never appealed to me personally, obviously Django has its uses or people wouldn't use it. I was just responding to Stephen's comment about the perceived complexity of setting up MM3. Not having to install and configure another application would be, objectively, simpler.
I already have too many full time jobs, so I'm not in a position to volunteer to take on another. :)
