Brad's hit the nail on the head: what you really want is mailman3, 
which isn't available yet.  It's a pretty common set of requests!

In the meantime, for #1, you should take a look at the initiatives to 
use various databses with Mailman.  I thought some people had some 
success with mysql?

And for #3, you might want to look at information like that found in 
the FAQ
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.007.htp
and see about setting something up to make it all work together.  It'll 
be a bit hacked, but i doubt that it's *impossible*...

You might also want to do some searches through the list archives... 
I'm pretty sure there've been a few people who've hacked up solutions 
for these things, and they might be willing to share some information 
with you.
