Template - "You can use these variables in the templates" - The variable for "leave" is missing
The current template input page shows this text:
You can use these variables in the templates. $hyperkitty_url: Permalink to archived message in Hyperkitty $listname: Name of the Mailing List e.g. ant@example.com $list_id: The List-ID header e.g. ant.example.com $display_name: Display name of the mailing list e.g. Ant $short_listname: Local part of the listname e.g. ant $domain: The domain part of the listname e.g. example.com $info: The mailing list's longer descriptive text $request_email: The email address for -request address $owner_email: The email address for -owner address $site_email: The email address to reach the owners of the site $language: The two letter language code for list's preferred language e.g. fr, en, de
I suggest to add the variable for leaving a mailing list here. But what is the variable name?

To unsubscribe send an email to ${short_listname}-leave@${domain}

I suggest to add this is as a new variable $leave_email .
By the way: how can I access the _short_ list description text as a variable?

See
https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/t...
for information on the variables that can be used in templates. There
you will see the variable for "the mailing list’s short description
text" is description. This is missing from the list displayed in
Postorius which needs updating for this and other reasons, e.g.
$hyperkitty_url is only available in regular headers and footers.

I wish you wouldn't. It's just bloat in the code and in the docstring. Better to document that the administrative addresses can be constructed using ${short_listname}. I believe Mailman still supports both "list-leave" and "list-unsubscribe", as well.

Actually, https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/852 only added documentation of the existing $description replacement which is appropriate, but it duplicates part of https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/merge_requests/851 which does that and adds a bit more documentation.
Also see https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1108 and https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1153
