[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#1028994: mailman3: (autopkgtest) needs update for Python 3.11

[James Addison]

Source: mailman3
Version: 3.3.7-3
Followup-For: Bug #1028994

Dear Maintainer,

There is hopefully good news relating to this bug: upstream has discovered the same problem and fixed it after version v3.3.7 - the fix is included in v3.3.8 of mailman3.

(the fix includes removal of a 'coroutine' decorator that causes the failure, instead declaring the associated method using 'async def' instead of 'def')

See the following links for the changes between the mentioned versions, and the contents of the fix:

- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/compare/3.3.7...3.3.8

- https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/commit/1954815f32fea4d9d920cdc74f63bcc24d3b6c49

Note: version 3.3.8 of the package retains Python 3.10 support, which may be helpful if the Debian project decides to rollback to that version of Python for the upcoming bookworm release.

Thank you,
James
