I personnally dissent from this idea; one great strength of free software is
its internationalization open to everyone both in participating to
translations and using them. Making them "optional" is making the software
weaker.

If the need for smaller tarballs is real (which I doubt, given the bandwidth
and diskspace you need to run Mailman :-) ), one option could be, on the
contrary, to have a seperate download link for people who
*want* a mono-lingual (supposedly US-English?) Mailman.
