Add more Mailman3 packages.

Add more Mailman3 packages.

[ng0]

Hi,

I've commited some more Mailman3 related packages. I'm not sure,
but is Mailman3
a) python2 only?
b) python2 in the progress of migrating to python3?
c) mixed python2 and python3?

To me it seems like (c).
The commits are on the 'mail/mailman3' branch here:
https://pagure.io/guix-dev/commits/mail/mailman3

If you prefer them as direct patches via git format-patch && git
send, I can arrange that as well.

AFAIK. The backend is Python 3 and the frontend is still python 2.7.

I just tried to resolve this in detail – which is not so easy. But in
the postorious docs [1] I found a recommendation for  the
mailman-bundler <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-bundler> [2] project
on GitLab. It states:

"Even if Mailman 3 runs on Python 3, the web interfaces and the commands
in this procedure run on Python 2.7, so make sure your system Python
version is 2.7."

Well, not quite clear what this means :-(

But looking at the buildout.cfg [3] I assume The backend is Python 3 and
the frontend (postorius, hyperkitty) is still python 2.7

I would take this to mean that on classic FHS-compliant systems,
`python' should be python2, and `python3' should be python3. For us it
(hopefully) shouldn't matter.
