all this runs on Ubuntu 20.04. Our mailman3-web.log file is full of this error.Traceback:

Is there a patch or workaround for this error or we are the one and only?

This is a qcluster issue. Without knowing what it is that qcluster is looking at that is causing this, I have no idea what the problem is.

You could try disabling qcluster. You probably have something like

Q_CLUSTER = {
    'timeout': 300,
    'save_limit': 100,
    'orm': 'default',
}

in settings.py. You can comment out or remove this or I think you can just put del Q_CLUSTER in settings_local.py. Possibly this will avoid the error or move it somewhere else where we can get more information.

Possibly you can also get more information on the error by implementing a simple error reporter for qcluster. See <https://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/errors.html>.
