That's fine with us. Mailman 2 is pretty bulletproof and low-
maintenance from our point of view too.

Not sure what containers have to do with anything, to be honest. In
any case, we don't really support containers AIUI. Abhilash provides
multiple containers in a configuration that's convenient for him to
distribute, but the container environment isn't something we support,
nor can we. A lot of people have difficulty configuring the network
with multiple containers.
I would recommend configuring everything (except perhaps the database)
in a single "host" (hardware, VM, or container), unless you're willing
to take on all that complexity.

Current Debian is pretty close to most recent release (maybe at this
point it is the most recent release). But as you say, if you need a
supported OS, you're probably going to end up with a pretty old
version of Mailman.

As for the last paragraph - When I was a Mailman administrator some
years ago on an Ubuntu system, I was told that I had to install
Mailman from a package. I looked at the Debian package, and I saw
patches that were undocumented, so I had no idea what they did.
And Debian, in one patch, deleted a library that is needed in some
situations. And I wanted to get support from Mark and this list,
instead of from Debian. So, I figured out how to create a package from
the Mailman source. This was on an older version of Mailman, but I
assume that my technique should work with the latest Mailman 2 source.
Contact me personally for details. It is not complicated.
