With MM 2.1.2 there is a capability for integrating a database such as 
MySQL for membership management via the MemberAdaptor class defined in 
Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py

I have not gone with this sort of approach yet but it might be worth 
searching the mailman-users and mailman-developers list archives for 
posts on the topic if you are interested.

The "old-fashioned" way would be to extract your user list from the 
database and use the $prefix/bin/sync_members script, mayber do this 
using a cron script. How you implement this approach will depend on 
which is the "master" membership list, that held by Mailman or that 
held in the database. But thesync_members,ad_members, remove_members 
and list_members scripts give you the raw ability to manipulate list 
memberships.

Again check mailman list archives for posts on this topic.
