giving mailman egroups like functionality?

hello friends,
am new to this list ... but have been using mailman for quite some time. am also aware of howto program in python .... but am no big expert in python!
one of my implementation projets requires what egroups gives .... Now mailman is an excellent tool for mailing list management with excellent web based GUI interface ....
what i want is howto -
1.) a web page thru which users can login ( that i have taken care of - assumed that users are already in my ldap database and they get into their user area say like a mailbox ) and can create their own mailing lists rather than someone makes for them from a shell!
2.) then everytime they login they see what lists they are moderator are for plus also thise lists which they have subscribed too.
3.) when they click on the list they are moderator are for then it should give the link to http://hostname/mailman/admin/listname
4.) and when they click the link to the list they have been subscribed they go the link http://hostnanme/mailman/listindo/listname
5.) also how can i execute the commands present in my ~Mailman/bin directory .. eg: list_lists
i would really appreciate if you could help me out in doing this ... plus if these functional are, if u think not required in mailman or do not confer to mailman standards, then please at least do help me out howto go about it .. either,
a) changing the python code of mailman b) any way i can achieve this my executing any existing binary commands which comes with Mailman thru perl or PHP.
The requirements are on a urgent basis ... so would appreciate all your help
Thnx Regards Rajat
P.S. : i have told that s/w like lyris list manager does this .. but am a hardcore mailman fan .. and i would never like to use any other mailing list manager :)
