I figured as much. And thank you for answering my next question aboutMailman 3. Is there documentation somewhere I can read how to configureMM3 for using LDAP or any other back-end database?
Yes and no. There are lots of doctests in the MM3 code, which primarily serve as documentation. Navigating around to find the information you want may take some time as there's no overview. There are currently no doctests describing how to use different backends, but the basic idea is that MM3 is strongly component based, using Zope style interfaces. If you can provide different implementations of the backends for core objects (mostly in the mailman/database package), then the rest of Mailman will just work.
Integrating different RDBMS should be pretty trivial. If Storm supports it, then it's just changing a URL in a config file. For an LDAP backend, it will take some additional implementation work to write different implementations of IMailingList and such that don't do SQL queries to gather the necessary information.
I'd be happy to help anybody who's interesting in building out an LDAP backend.
