A small group, including myself, are planning to present a proposal. We are in the early stage of defining what that will involve, but we are all committed. I've also, as you've probably seen on lp, been focused on pushing my py3 changes for mm2 to get them to the point of usable testing. I'm not anti-mm3 but myself and some others certainly do see the ongoing need for a MLM like mm2.
When you say py3, are you talking about python 3? Are you trying to make mm2 python 3 compatible?
So this labor you and your group are looking to do for MM2, how is this not going to take more time then just migrating to MM3? One of your criticism is that MM3 is complex and it is difficult to install. How is all of this effort you are making staying with a version of Mailman that has been updated (MM2 to MM3), and uses an interface that is over 15 years old productive? I don't see this path you are trying to take as one that is less complex and difficult than just moving to a MM3 environment. At this point, those who use MM2 via cPanel will most likely not benefit from your efforts. Especially if you port MM2 to python 3 (this is an assumption I am making). I don't think cPanel will touch such a version at all.
By the way, with all the problems I have seen with some folks having a difficult time with installing MM2 on this list, I think the arguments that MM3 is too difficult to install (it's not) weakens considerably. I still think non-cPanel MM2 users' time is better spent learning to install MM3 and using it. Or better yet use a Mailman 3 host provider such as myself to make their lives considerably easier.
