All good stuff.  All stuff common to both Majordomo2 and Mailman.

Ok, you lost me here at frambors. 

The config examples you give look like some foreign language.

Perhaps it's my personal preference and experience, but there are two
styles of configurations that I find easy to use: the standard *nix
.conf style of var=value and XML style.  The examples you give make me
want to grep the docs and that's a waste of tie if there is a system I
can look at and figure out.

Majordomo2 may be a good system, but I think the ease of use due to
familiarity of Mailman might be enough of a reason to keep it. 

I really don't see any significant advantage to switching.
