All the useful ones are now exposed, pending one (emergency flag for 
MailingLists), which is also exposed in master branch but not released yet.

Unless they mean other "settings" of some sort, then they'd need to be a bit 
more specific since everything is a setting ;-).

Thanks for letting us know, Sumana! I am not on Mastodon, so probably won't be 
able to reply there.

We do have migration docs for system admins:
   https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html

Although, the current migration involves running a command for all the lists 
one-by-one and then import the Archives separately. The process could be made a 
bit better IMO, but I haven't had time to prioritize the effort recently. Maybe 
I should pick up my WIP MR again[1].

I am happy to help any hosting companies to migrate their Mailman 2 users off 
to Mailman 3. I haven't had any previous conversations, but was wondering if 
there are any representatives on this list to start off a conversation perhaps?

The process can be fairly easily automated I think.
