There is a client implementation for python (mailman-client). A Nodejs client is in the works AFAIK. You can use these to build your own UI. Or you could use postorius for that. It is based on django and uses mailman-client to interact with the core.

I personally have not yet included other authentication backends to django, but the process should be rather easy. Django has ver good documentation online. Including an LDAP backend should be standard enough for numerous tutorials to be out there. You just have to search for integrating different Backends into postorius. Postorius itself is actually doing this. Persona is used as the main Authentication Backend. Hyperkitty (yet another module) which is responsible for serving Archives of Lists even includes more Authentication Backends. That code should show you what you need to do, to add further Backends.
