I think that is Brian's and a lot of other people's concern. 3 years to implement something into MM3 that was a core feature in MM2. I realize this next question is going to sound bombastic, I assure you it's not meant that way: What other things are missing or not available presently in MM3 that are taken for granite in MM2?
I think almost nothing is missing from Mailman core. We don't have 'sibling lists' or 'topics', but other than that, I think it's all there.
Quite a few core settings are not exposed in Postorius but we're chipping away at that.
We are a small project. We have very few people working on Mailman on a regular basis, and everyone is a volunteer, no one is paid. If you want things to happen faster, please contribute.

I don't think that I've been sitting on the fence, in fact I think I've been contributing a lot if you include not just source contributions but also the PPAs. I wouldn't say that I'm a principal developer, but I'm not off in some remote corner unfamiliar with the product and project.
I know that you (Jim P) have contributed a lot to MM 2 and we all and I in particular appreciate that, but I was thinking specifically of MM 3.
Note also that I still spend a lot of time helping people with MM 2 questions. This is time that could otherwise be spent on MM 3. This is a big part of why I've said 2.1.30 will be the last MM 2 release.
