Unfortunately packaging Mailman 3.3 for buster-backports would involve 
backporting quite a few dependencies.

We just don't consider it worth the effort and instead would advice you 
to upgrade your Mailman3 box to Bullseye - which is about to be released 
as next stable release in two or three months.

Kind regards
