While I generically don't care (my MTA is smart enough to not need
an aliases file for Mailman lists), I don't see the problem of
newlist, say, both outputting the new aliases to stdout as it does
now, AND to, say, the file, "data/newlist" or some such.  This
doesn't overwrite any system files, and yuor wrapper script can then 
do whatever is "the right thing" for your local installation.
