Hi Mark,
BTW, as an aside, there is not any mention of admin users needing to be logged in as user=list instead of user=root in the documention here:
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html
I highly recommend that the documentation be amended to clearly state that the admin users need to be logged in as user=list.
The list user is a Debian/Ubuntu package thing. The Mailman user can
actually be anything.
I have added a note at <https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html#fn1> saying that these commands should be run as the Mailman user and not as root.
The mailman command itself, if run as root, should probably set the effective user:group to the Mailman user:group. We don't know that from the Mailman config, but maybe use the owner and group of the mailman command file. This is now <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/776>.
