Mailman list migration: It notifies everyone even if list settings say "do not notify"

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

centos 8 obsidian latest

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When the migration tool is used, it migrates the lists from one server to the other..
From the looks of it, it does not migrate the settings of the list before starting adding users to it.

This causes newsletter-type mailing lists with thousands of users to get "you have been added to the list" emails, EVEN if the mailmanlist settings at the old server says "do not notify users when added/removed".

This causes massive unnecessary email load that upsets users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

migrate a mailman list from one server to another.. both plesk..

ACTUAL RESULT

each user gets an email saying they are added

EXPECTED RESULT

NO emails should be sent.. PLESK first should migrate the list settings, THEN it should start adding users.. Preferably in BULK, not one by one as it does not.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This bug exists for many years now. I was burned by it during my PREVIOUS migration as well, about 5 years ago
