I tend to think that the mailman <-> authentication interface is 
going to be gnarly enough that it'll be a custom API. But I also 
think that having PAM and LDAP access to the data will also important 
to have for access in other ways -- PAM solves my problem for archive 
access in apache wonderfully, and either PAM or LDAP would make it 
easier to evolve my web forums into using a sitewide account/password 
setup, which is something I really want down the road.
