Sorry to add noise to everyone's mailbox, but I can't find a way
to have mail delivered as a daily digest. The list server's help
message gives only the following commands:
confirm - Confirm a subscription request.
echo - Echo back your arguments.
end - Stop processing commands.
help - Get help about available email commands.
join - Join this mailing list.
leave - Leave this mailing list.
stop - An alias for 'end'.
subscribe - An alias for 'join'.
unsubscribe - An alias for 'leave'.
Is there an option in the system for me to request daily digests,
or even turn off delivery to my mailbox? Seems like a very
rudimentary system, perhaps someone should contemplate moving to
good ol' mailman.
Thanks,
Dale

Yes.
Log in to the lists.gnu.tools web page, then click on your username on
the upper right.
Select "Mailman settings", and then go into the various preferences to
change the delivery mode from "Regular" to one of the digest options.

Hi,
[Resending this message, since I see I made another mistake and this
message never reached the mailinglist. sigh. TLDR; disabling "Sign Up"
was a mistake, you need it to create an account to tweak your
mailinglist settings. It works now and for now it doesn't seem to cause
the problems I assumed it would.]

Except that only works if you have an "account". Which you couldn't
create because the "Sign Up" page was disabled. I have enabled it
again, but might have to disable it again if it creates too many spam
accounts.
So with mailman3 you have to create an account which is then
associated with the email address that you used to subscribe to the
mailinglist. After you have created an account for your email address,
you can login with it on the lists.gnu.tools site and do as Leo
describes.
Apologies this is so different from mailman2 and sorry for thinking I
could just disable the account creation. Apparently you cannot really
configure everything just through sending to the mailman email
interface :{
Sorry,
Mark
