Your current *) documentation says

 Migrate the list archives from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 by running the following command:
 $ python manage.py hyperkitty_import -l foo-list@example.com $var_prefix/archives/private/foo-list.mbox/foo-list.mbox

(venv) /opt/mailman $ python manage.py python: can't open file '/opt/mailman/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

What did I wrong or what is that part of your documentation missing?

The documentation doesn't always say so, but the Django admin command may be called manage.py or not depending on how you installed Django. If you installed following https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html, i.e. installed mailman-web, instead of python manage.py the command is just django-admin.
