Hi Christian,

Great that we agree here :)

I'll probably wait until Buster release before uploading the new
packages. I pushed the changes the packaging repos now, though. So if
you're curious, you can take a look:

https://salsa.debian.org/mailman-team/hyperkitty
https://salsa.debian.org/mailman-team/mailman-suite

What's your plans for Ubuntu? Would it help to have the changes uploaded
to experimental? If so, then we certainly could do this.

Cheers
