Dear debian developers, dear mailman maintainers,

I started in september to package mailman3 core archive into debian. With
Barry Warsaw help and a lot of reading, I've so far managed to get to this :
https://github.com/P-EB/mailman3-core

Before requesting for sponsorship, I'd like to request some new eyes and
opinions on my work, as I'm totally new to packaging, and as I'm not sure at
all that I fullfilled all policy constraints. (and also because I don't want
to package mailman without having discussed with mailman maintainers!)

I've sent a mail to mailman developers, but I was also suggested to send a
mail here.

Any review would be appreciated, and thanks for the time anybody will give
to my work!

Cheers!
