You'll really want to start looking at Mailman 3.  Two things will  
help you.  First, all the data is kept (by default) in a SQLite  
database.  Other RDBMs will be easily possible and it's conceivable  
that other backends could be written as well.

Second, you will have complete administrative access to the running  
Mailman engine through a RESTful interface.  This work is only now  
being fleshed out.  There's minimal code in the tree for that now and  
it's the major focus of the work I'm doing now.
