Public bug reported:

[Availability]
The package is already universe for quite a while and build/works fine so far.
It is for example already used for 
https://lists.canonical.com/mailman3/postorius/lists/

This source builds only python3-mailmanclient and that is also all we
need (no py2).

[Rationale]
This is part of the MIR activity for all dependencies of mailman3
The "main" MIR of it is at bug 1775427:

Mailman (2) has only python2 support, but we strive for python3,
therefore Mailman3 which has python3 support should be promoted to main.

While mailman3 is an evlution of mailman2 this is not entriely new code
to provide a REST API; mailman2 had similar in src:mailman-api.

[Security]

No known CVEs found.
A few old issues can be found against mailman2 and one (but long fixed) for 
mailman 3
=> https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=mailman

[Quality assurance]

The mailman3 stacks as of now (Disco) installs fine and provides a base
config. But due to the nature of the package that needs further modification
to be of real use.

The package does not ask debconf questions higher than medium and is not
installed by default.

Zero known bugs in Ubuntu and Debian for this component.

There are regular upstream releases and Debian packaging it.

No exotic HW involved.

The tests on build are disabled as they'd require a running mailman3 server.
But those are runnign as dep8 tests in django-mailman3, mailman3, 
mailman-hyperkitty, mailman3-core and mailmanclient.

d/watch is set up and ok.

No Lintian warning except fairly recent newer Standards version.

The package does not rely on demoted or obsolete packages.

[UI standards]

This is just the REST API - no translations (needed)
No End-user applications that needs a standard conformant desktop file.

[Dependencies]

Some dependencies are not in main, but we drive MIR for all related packages
that are not in main at the same time.
Please check the list of bugs from the main Mailman3 MIR in bug 1775427 to get 
an overview.

[Standards compliance]
The package meets the FHS and Debian Policy standards.
The packaging itself is very straight forward and uses dh_* as much as possible 
- the d/rules fits on one screen.

[Maintenance]

The Server team will subscribe for the package for maintenance

[Background]
The package description explains the general purpose and context of the package 
well.
