The phrasing of "the current Mailman 2.1 branch belongs to the GNU-
Mailman project" seems odd.

To be honest, I felt your post here
https://code.launchpad.net/~jks/mailman/hcaptcha/+merge/389691/comments/1024988 
was a bit over the top.  You seem to have gone on and on about listing
all the possible things that I would need access to, as though it would
be such an impossibility for the Cabal to approve.

I'm not here to judge you, I think your position on Mailman 2.1 is very
clear, and I think my good and thankful opinion of you is well
understood by the readers of this email.
