Just a note that there can be database complications when updating
from mailman 2 to mailman 3.

If the new list server (Ubuntu 22) has done this upgrade, which is
likely, it would be safest for people to update their list archives
before the downtime, in case there are unexpected migration issues.

Yes. That is what I do at the minimum for my databases unless specific
instructions exist against it.
So it seems like I have done everything that is commonly expected, but the
import still fails on several messages.
