Hi,

gitolite has been superseeded by gitolite3 a long time ago, and the latter is in bullseye, in buster and will be in bookworm. See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gitolite3

Redmine indeed had troubles.

Mailman3 has been part of buster and bullseye, but the release of sqlalchemy 1.4 is not compatible with it and therefore there is a chance that it will not make it in bookworm. There is nothing that any contributor can do except taking the time to help mailman upstream to be fixed and work with sqlalchemy 1.4.

Regards.
