Hum, we're sort of doing something like that, at least for
lists-admin.

    
<https://secure.mysociety.org/cvstrac/rlog?f=mysociety/lists/web-admin/lists/mailmanlogin.cgi>
(<http://is.gd/AO16>)

might be a starting point for you.

(and also
    
<https://secure.mysociety.org/cvstrac/dir?d=mysociety/lists/web-admin/lists/mailman>
(<http://is.gd/AO1s>))


(In our case authentication works via Apache Basic Auth, unix groups, 
and password-generation scripts
    
<https://secure.mysociety.org/cvstrac/rlog?f=mysociety/bin/htpasswd_import_users>
(<http://is.gd/AO1Z>)

it should be quite trivial to implement using LDAP, too.)
