when I try to log into https://lists.gtalug.org, I am told by means of some script that it hasn't heard of me, and there is no record of sciguy@vex.net existing.
How am I now expected to make adjustments to my account if I am receiving email, yet the server is telling me I don't exist?
Mailman3 is dramatically different than Mailman2 for most things, although for users sending / receiving email, it's pretty seamless. With the old Mailman2, when subscribing / confirming, it would send a clear-text password that could be used to manage user settings. Some settings could be configured via emailing commands to the $list-request@list.domain.tld, but not all MM2 commands are supported with MM3. With MM3, one can subscribe without a password, but to manage one's account via the web interface, that's a separate sign-up. It's kinda weird at first, but also kinda makes sense. At least no clear-text passwords are sent around. So, the web front end doesn't know about you, you'd have to sign up there to change your account settings, delivery options, etc. There's a guide here: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/userguide.html#
