You might also want to search the documentation and the archives of
this list and the mailman-developers list for information on the
MemberAdapter interface, which provides some facilities to interface
to a separate membership database.
The MemberAdapter provided by Mailman 2.1 is evidently not very
successful (I haven't tried it myself, but "surely there's a better
way than MemberAdapter?" is a FAQ), but you may be able to make it
serve your purposes. Better integration of 3rd-party databases is
planned for Mailman 3, but Mailman 3 is presently only a
proof-of-concept implementation, and there is no schedule for delivery
of a public release yet.
AFAIK Mailman 2.2 is not expected to get major improvements in this
area, but Tokio Kikuchi the authoritative source on that (IIRC); if a
brief look at Mailman 2.1 MemberAdapter seems unsatisfactory, you
could ask (on this list would be best, I think) about Mailman 2.2.
