But does that imply it has to be integrated into mailman? Or just available.

The only reason I see for it to be fully integrated is if we want to 
add a header pointing to the article in the archive -- that would 
require archive processing during delivery. Other than that, it can 
be post -processed, so it wouldn't need to be part of hte main MLM 
code, it simply has to interface with it. That'd allow both pieces to 
be managed separately.

I'm toying with that, actually.
