The bin/list_members script is the preferred way to get the membership
of a list.

See some of the threads returned by
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+inurl%3Amailman-users+%22Jean-Philippe+GIOLA%22
for information about using Mailman's external archiver hook in
conjunction with the standard pipermail archive.

What other "events" do you want to instrument and in what way?
Mailman's logs may help.
