In general, there is no "official" way to do this sort of centralized authentication. I did some work on our local install of Mailman to allow regular network login for list moderation and administration, but it is dependent on both our Single-Sign-On system (Cosign) and particular LDAP setup. I have spoken with people at a number of other institutions that were interested in similar single-sign-on support for the Mailman web interface, and there has been extensive discussion on the -developers list about making it a part of the Mailman core. However, it's unlikely they will be making any changes that significant until after Mailman 2.2, which is the next planned major release. Basically, the answer right now is "roll your own," though I might be able to dig through our patches and find some starting points if you were going to begin work towards such a goal.
