(Disclosure: I'm the other archiving service, Gmane.)
I wonder if adding a layer of indirection here would help with these
considerations.
That is -- Mailman could have a box saying "archive using external
archivers" (without saying which external archivers) that list admins
could tick/untick that resulted in a message being sent to a
meta-archival site. This meta-archival site would then have a list of
external archivers that be notified about the mailing list.
This meta-archive would be run by a third party, and would de-list
any archivers that are naughty.
