We finally managed to move from mailman2 to mailman3, and mail archives are now at https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives and they can be now searched, too.
Please let us know if you have face any issues with the mailing list and we'll look into it.

What is the new signup method, given that signup is closed on this new MM3 instance?
I guess you can still subscribe via email. But why is account registration closed? I too manage a mailman3 instance. I cannot see any reason why you would want to disable account registration. A newly registered account does not automatically get new privileges, so this doesn't increase security. At the same time, it strips the user of the possibility to manage their account.
BTW, I am under the impression that archiving isn't set up properly. The newest mail in the archive https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/ is of April 11. As in Mailman3, the mailing list manager (postorius) and the archiver (hyperkitty) are separate, it also took a bit of trial and error for me to ensure, that new mails are being archived. I don't remember what was the cause in my case. But I think the mailman-web log files revealed it to me.
While it's already getting OT, the archiving is done via mailman-web settings and cron. And maybe they better opt for the much faster Xapian indexer https://github.com/notanumber/xapian-haystack/tree/master.
