I strongly recommend to help packaging officially for Debian: 
https://bugs.debian.org/799281

Just using preliminary not-yet-in-Debian packages from those package 
developers working on the getting Mailman3 into Debian, and reporting 
any bugs discovered to them, is quite helpful.

I am one of those strongly against PHP as a core principle for all my 
sysadmin work.

That said, if you should choose to run a PHP-based forum, you might 
consider bridging not to mail but to nntp, using Debian package papercut 
(but beware it is dead upstream!).
