Hi Derek/GNUCash users & other possibly interested stakeholders, 

I am on the "board" of the North Bay Linux Users Group/NBLUG -
https://nblug.org/ 

While I was not involved in the migration of the NBLUG mailing lists
from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3, I did read that is was quite an involved
process.  

It would be nice if some of the nonprofit fiscal sponsors in the open
source software world, like Software Freedom Conservancy
(https://sfconservancy.org/), Software in the Public Interest
(https://www.spi-inc.org/), and the Free Software Foundation
(https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fiscal-sponsorship), would offer
member projects a somewhat centralized mailing service using Mailman 3,
like the Python Software Foundation does -
https://www.python.org/community/lists/ 

That way, not all of the individual open source software projects would
have to do the entire Mailman 2 > 3 installation, migration,
maintenance, & use process on their own.

Thanks,
