Mailman 2.1.x is Python 2 only.
Upstream has explicitly indicated there will be no effort to port it to
Python 3:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2019-April/084333.html
So it seems the time has come to remove Mailman 2 from Debian, and let
people migrate to Mailman 3.
Cheers,
Thijs

I thought this may be the case. I was looking at the possibility of whether I could build 2.1.30 even if it was to go in backports until the eventual removal of the package on the next Debian version, but would this removal cause problems for this?

This is indeed not possible, because Backports requires package versions
to come from testing and mailman is already no longer in testing.
Continued support for any mailman 2.x packages needs to be outside of the
Debian archive since Debian will have removed Python 2 both from stable
and testing/unstable starting from the next release.
