Hi Danil,

I don't believe that this is the case -- at least, I don't see the "magic 
unsubscribe" button on Mailman3 list messages in my GMail account.  GMail 
doesn't really have the information necessary to auto-unsubscribe from a 
mailman list because it's not obvious what the subscribed address is for any 
given list/message -- this is a problem that RFC 8058 solves, and I touch on 
one example of how this goes wrong up-thread (in February).

I do frequently send more than 5000 messages/day to GMail on busy lists with 
many subscribers.  It's hard to overstate what a huge percentage of the 
consumer mailbox market that Google has. From my sample, they own more than 60% 
of subscribed addresses.

Looking a the Google Postmaster Tools I see upwards of 99% deliveries 
TempFailed and I have special-cased retries in my MTA to be every 5 minutes to 
GMail to try and get vaguely timely message deliveries.  Google are always 
mysterious, but the only big red exclamation mark on their dashboard is lack of 
one-click unsubscribe.
