I wouldn't consider it an acceptable dependency. This is where things
like We:Search and the like come in (albeit We:Search is optimised for
far larger message stores than Mailman typically handles). You get a
simple tool which does something simple, providing the basics, and which
can be easily extracted and replaced plugin-style should that be
desired.
Mailman is growing up. It is rapidly becoming a message processing
system or framework, not just a mailing list manager.
