It's not just the MTA extension frameworks, it's also the myriad of things that Mailman may choose to do or to look at when deciding what to do, based on content in the message.
I agree.
I don't think it's feasible to completely re-write Mailman, or to completely re-write the MTAs, so that each of them has a deep integral understanding of all the nuances and complexities of the work that is being done by the other.
Short of doing a rewrite on that scale, I suspect that we're going to continue to have these kinds of problems for some time.
There will certainly be limits to what you can do, but essentially the idea is that the MTA would be asking Mailman what it would do with a particular message. Kind of like the MTA calling out to SpamAssassin at various points in the SMTP protocol.
