I started a thread about this a couple of months back. I was asking about what authentication system to switch to, since persona is being dropped. I found a couple of solutions and have my personal favorite: django-allauth

I have a merge request pending that adds basic functionality for it in postorius. I think that it's better than python-social-auth that hyperkitty is currently using. 
Short version: it supports both external (social) and internal (django) auth systems and offers options to combine/switch between them . Allauth provides Signals that I used to verify the addresses in Mailman.
