A little over a year ago I went on a search to find the best open source
archiver and at that time I came up with Lurker
(http://lurker.sourceforge.net) Since then I believe Lurker has seen a
major new revision. I also believe Lurker is the archiver used by
Debian.

So if you want to leverage existing open source archiving or at least
look at an example of what would be necessary to allow easy easy
external archiving integration with Mailman you might want to look at
Lurker.
