You can certainly add extra addresses to a Mailman 3 user (I don't know offhand whether/how an admin can do it through Postorius, but the core database certainly has that facility and the REST API allows it).
I was able to resolve this via the Django admin interface.
However, this doesn't have the same semantics as in Mailman 2 because Mailman 2 doesn't have users at all. So as an admin how do you know which addresses correspond to particular users? More generally, what do you mean by "associate with an account", and why do you want to do it?
Normally I would not ask the latter question, it's your business why you want to do it. But here I'm trying to get at what semantics you want. If I were going to do this for the kind of purposes I can imagine, it would be a matter of informing the users that this feature is available, and I'd ask the users to do it if they care. It seems you have some project goal in mind though.
Because I've been a member of the project for close to 20 years, and the email addresses I've had over that time have changed in relation to the jobs I've had. Same deal for other long time members of the project. By adding addresses I no longer have to my account and marking them verified, I can easily associate nearly 20 years of postings that I've made with myself when I look at the archives.
