You definitely can't do this with the existing Mailman pipermail
archives. It probably is possible to modify Mailman/Cgi/private.py to
restrict viewing such that if the user has authorized as a member
rather than as an admin, the user can only retrieve pages for which
she/he is the author. I don't know of any attempts to do this with
pipermail or any external archiver.
You didn't ask for criticism of the idea itself so I won't offer any.
