Logging subscribes/unsubscribes
Does Mailman 3 log subscribes and unsubscribes for each list the way Mailman 2 did?

Yes and no. Some (un)subscription events are logged, but the only things are:
listname: held subscription request from address listname: held unsubscription request from address
and when a held unsubscription is approved
listname: deleted address
Further, with default settings, these are written to var/log/mailman.log, but you can put
[logging.subscribe] path: subscribe.log
in mailman.cfg to cause them to go to their own log file.

By any chance does this or the other message you posted Brian have to do with my case where after my October message to 500 subscribers, I checked recently and found all my members are gone? I was concerned that after the upgrade (which I am sure is related) that somehow my subscribers were lost because of some bug.
Which brings up another question—I don’t see a way to download subscribers in a list, which would be useful in situations like this or when migrating.

The 'mailman members' command can do this. In Postorius the 'CSV Export' button at lists/<list-ID>/members/member/ will do it.

Thanks. List is now ok. Somehow I must have deleted and had a backup after all.
And I found the CSV export!!!
Thanks Mark and Brian.
in my venv installation, i found mailman.log in /opt/mailman/var/logs.
What does the log entry look like for new subscriptions? I am just trying to find a list of all new subscribers since a date.
Thanks!

With the default settings mailman.log contains no evidence of subscribe actions. Even if one had the foresight to include:
[logging.subscribe] level: debug path: mailman.log
in mailman.cfg in Mailman 3.3.8, no new clues are recorded in the log file. I have not yet noticed whether anything has changed in this regard in 3.3.9 or 3.3.10 .
Cheers, Nelson

This is a known issue. See https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1143
