Subject: mailman3: Improve logrotate configuration

Package: mailman3
Version: 3.3.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

The Mailman3 package currently includes logrotate configuration for one file,
/var/log/mailman3/mailman.log. However, it is pretty common to enable other
logs, changing it to apply to /var/log/mailman3/*.log would be much nicer
IMO and what most sysadmins expect. I have tested this on Wikimedia's
Mailman3 install and it works properly.

I'm also somewhat curious why it only keeps 5 days worth of logs by default,
personally I think something like 7 days or 14 (what apache2 uses) would
be more reasonable.

Thanks,
-- Kunal
