To quote [1]:

"Webmin is often mentioned as an alternative for web-based GUI
admininstration of servers. Webmin was part of the Ubuntu "universe"
early on, but was dropped before the 6.06 Dapper release. See "Why was
webmin dropped?" at
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2873 for the
reasons, but among other things, it is not compatible with the way
that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to
cause unexpected issues with system upgrades, etc."

As can be seen by [2], webmin was previously in the Ubuntu
repositories, but was later removed since it was removed in Debian. I
do not think we should spend time and resources documenting an
application that is no longer in the Ubuntu repositories. If we are
going to add documentation for anything, it should be ebox.
