This part can't be overstated.

Mailman v2 web interface is like a wood-panel basement with orange, shag 
carpet, a paisley chesterfield, and a big fluorescent tube for lighting.

With ashtrays everywhere.


Mailman v3 does not hurt the eyes. And uses AJAX.


Also, the landing page for a list shows activity stats, which can be nice.

Doesn't cost much to collect (might just be a query) and shows post 
quantity, participant metrics, etc.

Not necessary, but easy enough to gather so might as well present it.
