I'm guessing you meant mailman-users@ vs mailman3-users@.

For those that look at the address they're sending to, there's already
mailman3 in the domain, so I'd say adding a number is probably
superflous (although could be a belt and braces approach).

Unless I'm really misremembering, MM3 isn't so fussy about unique
localparts/listnames; so other users lists in the future might be on
separate (sub)domains. 

Generally speaking, though, my preference is to include the project
name; not only does it make autocomplete easier, but in composing a
new message I'm more likely to send it to the right place.

My preference would be:

    mailman-us...@mailman3.org  // plural
    mailman-...@mailman3.org    // singular, relates to project not individuals
    mailman-foo@mailman3        // other lists

which is pretty much the approach I've used with a bunch of other
projects and lists.
