Be aware however: it's not an easy task, as Daniel Kahn Gillmor pointed out.

The Mailman Secure List Server Patch hasn't been touched since 2010-09.  It's a
patch for mailman-2.1.15, not for the development branch.  However, studying it
will surely give you some inspiration.  Some code might be reusable too.

If you'd like to discuss details of this patch, you're invited to join the list
at ssls-dev at ulm.ccc.de.

I'd be glad to help you dealing with the work.

Bye,

Joost
