Ian, I think that alternative is going to be Mailman 3 :).

How do you see Exim asking that question?  I can see several ways of  
doing it in Mailman 3.  1) you could call into a Python library that  
can answer that question; 2) you could use some kind of RPC such as  
the REST api that Andrew's been talking about; 3) you could make the  
appropriate queries directly to the Mailman database, which is based  
on SQLite currently but can be anything that Storm can talk to.

Is that the kind of thing you want to do?
