We are considering to fully support it [1] at some point which isn't
as easy as you might think :-/

This bug was a big blocker that I'm glad that it is resolved, thank you a lot!
But we have way more to resolve before the mailman3 stack and all its
components is fully ok.
Need some more updates here and there, some packaging fixes, some
changes to font usage, ... the list is still rather long.
[1] gives you an impression of it.

Since we won't have everything else ready for quite a while - and
given that Buster has a release data now - I think we are fine to wait
post-buster.
No need to rush to experimental for now - but thanks for the offer.
