Providing such wrappers as part of venv or the upstream repository is hence not possible.
We do provide them as Python scripts, which the wheels install in "some reasonable place" such as $VENV/bin. I imagine this works fine if you install to site-packages for the system Python, although most distros now make that very difficult.
I imagine that these legacy wrappers continue to exist in Debian- family Mailman only because the maintainer is unable to devote time to modernizing the Debian package. IIRC they don't even provide systemd units, but have systemd autogenerate units from /etc/init.d scripts.
