If I type mailman with no arguments, I get the whole
(venv) *mailman@mail*:*~*$ mailman
Usage: mailman [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
*a*
The GNU Mailman mailing list management system https://www.list.org
Options: --version Show the version and exit. --run-as-root Running mailman commands as root is not recommended and mailman will refuse to run as root unless this option is specified. -C, --config FILE Configuration file to use. If not given, the environment variable MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE is consulted and used if set. If neither are given, a default configuration file is loaded. -h, --help Show this message and exit. --- etc ---
But if I type mailman -h, as it says in that page, I get a massive stack dump starting with
File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1161, in __call__
return self.main*(*args, **kwargs)*
~~~~~~~~~*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*
File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1081, in main
with self.make_context*(prog_name, args, **extra)* as ctx:

File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/click/core.py", line 949, in make_context
self.parse_args*(ctx, args)*

and ending with
