Thanks a lot for raising this issue. As part of the mailman3 maintainer team in Debian I would be very interested in answers to your questions as well. Would be awesome if we could get rid of the nodejs dependency for mailman3-web. I haven't looked into the details yet, but maybe the assets could be compiled at build-time and shipped within the binary package?
