But how do you display a "Membership List page" for admins in MM3 (choice of wording is specific to other emails you've posted today) without third-party application(s), and isn't that too a shortcoming in MM3 due to that functionality being present in MM2? Look, without a doubt the REST API of MM3 Core is cool, but let's be honest, all the 3rd party wrapping and baggage is, well, not so cool. But, again being honest, you can't have a MM3 system without all of those things. With MM2 we have all those things, and we are happy with them.:)
Affinity is just a UI that sits on top of Mailman 3 core. Most of its functions and displays come from Mailman 3 core. Everything I mentioned about how Affinity displays List Member Management to List Owners uses MM3's REST api to do so. In my opinion, Postorius is nowhere near in taking advantage of all that Mailman 3 core offers along with free tools such as Bootstrap 4. The only thing that is holding Postorius back is time to improve it and that is not the fault of MM3 or the developers. The thing to take away from this however is Postorius still has the potential (because the foundation is there) to be a great modern UI for Mailman 3 core. MM2 does not have that potential and never will. Sure it works until it doesn't.
I am pretty sure Pipermail is a wrapper and not an inherit part of MM2.
