Package: mailman3
Version: 3.3.8-2~deb12u2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The mailman.cfg provided by the debian package includes a section called
[logging.debian]. This is clearly Debian-specific, but its purpose doesn't
appear to be documented anywhere.
The Mailman 3 docs suggest that this would normally be called
[logging.template], and the config file has a comment explaining the purpose of
other logging.* sections.
The logging produced by this package is quite a mess, with at least three
different log line formats being used in mailman.log, but I'm unsure if this is
an issue with the Debian package, or mailman itself.
