I don't know if this is what you have in mind, but there are a couple
of MySQL MemberAdaptor modules. These allow Mailman to use a MySQL
database for it's list membership. This would allow you to maintain
your contact information (outside of Mailman) in a MySQL database and
have Mailman access that database directly for list membership
information.

The original by Kev Green is at

but there is a later version at <http://www.orenet.co.uk/opensource/>.

A variant based on the original is at
<http://trac.rezo.net/trac/rezo/browser/Mailman/MySQLMemberAdaptor>.
