migration from mailman 2 to 3
One of the lists of which I am a co-moderator has been moved from mailman 2 to 3. While the administrator of the mailman site (not local) has directed us to https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html, I find there guides for system administrators and members but I do not find an equivalent of the http://list.org/mailman-admin/index.html "List Administration Manual" ...
... in particular I'd like a checklist between the old "keywords" (e.g hold_these_nonmembers) and new equivalent ones (which seems "unnamed" in mailman 3) ... at least in the form of "under which new web page to look for a configuration item which was in a given old web page")
Does anything like that exist ?
Thanks Lucio Chiappetti

There is a Mailman 3 list member's manual at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html, but there is no list administrators manual per se.
The MM 3 web admin UI, at least the one distributed by the GNU Mailman project is Postorius and it's docs are at https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/postorius/en/latest/, but they only cover installation, development and deployment, and not the list admen or member things.
If you explore the list admin pages at https://your.domain/mailman3/ or https://your.domain/postorius/ (one or both of those should work) You should find most of the settings familiar to you, albeit with somewhat different names in some cases.
In particular, the list settings for *_these_nonmembers are at Settings -> Message Acceptance, but these settings in particular are deprecated in Mailman 3 except for regexps. In Mailman 3 the preferred way to say accept a nonmember is to create a nonmember for that user and set it's Moderation action to Default Processing. If, a nonmember posts, the nonmember record is automatically created, and in handling the post at, e.g., https://your.domain/mailman3/lists/list@your.domain/held_messages, you can click the message subject and you will see a dialog showing the message with buttons to accept, reject or discard the message and a dropdown to set the poster's moderation action.
You can find a mapping from MM 2 settings to MM 3 settings at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/utilities/impor.... Names not in that lest generally map to themselves.
To follow up with MM 3 questions, please join the list at https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users@mailman3.org/ and post there.
