However, it is unclear what in gatenews would do this. Assuming you have no lists for which gateway_to_mail is true, all gatenews will do is def process_lists(glock): list_manager = getUtility(IListManager) for mlist in list_manager.mailing_lists: glock.refresh() listname = mlist.fqdn_listname if not mlist.gateway_to_mail: continue
The database operations involved in this are things Mailman core is doing all the time, presumably without issues.
I have no lists with "Gateway to news" option set to yes in the web interface.
From the database debug log I guess that mailman gatenews abruptly terminates the database connections. For instance this is the database debug log of a connection that doesn't trigger the mariadbd "[Warning] Aborted connection" log entry.

There is a "Quit" at the end. While the log entries of the connections that trigger the aborted connection warning (like the one I posted yesterday) do not have "Quit" at the end.
