Reconfiguring the package is not useful. Most probably, mailman3 doesn't
succeed at accessing /run/mailman3/master.pid

What are the permissions of /run/mailman3 directory if it exists? If it
doesn't, you have to create it and set it to be owned by list:list. Which init
system do you use?

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
