New Mailman versions are released a little under once a year. Whether
to upgrade or not, as always, is your choice.

Apache is not required to run Mailman. All that is required is a web
server that supports standard CGIs, and that's pretty much everything
from Apache to thttpd, boa, roxen aolserver and on down. I run Mailman
under boa here, tho you wouldn't be able to tell that from the outside
world...(boa isn't exposed to direct client requests).

Mailman's python version requirements have changed precisely once in the
7 years I've been running it.

False. Builds can be done that way if wished, but there's no
requirement to do it that way.

If your posts there were as factual and well supported as this post, I'm
not surprised.
