I agree. htdig and python are both on the redhat cd's. I fear that htdigI really don't know much about this stuff, but two thoughts:
will become part of the mailman package as pipermail is.
-Not all of us use redhat. So what is or isn't on the redhat cds shouldn't be a deciding factor in decision about including features, though obviously it should be considered.
-Patches are all well and good, but I'd venture to guess that many users wouldn't be comfortable patching Mailman for fear of messing something up. However, everyone probably wants archives that are to some degree searchable. It seems to me that beginners would want searchability out-of-the-box, but be afraid to patch; users who want more powerful searching are almost certainly willing to apply patches, etc.; users who don't want searching are... I don't know any of those people.
I certainly understand, of course, concerns about making the Mailman package excessively large, and concerns by developers about tying themselves to development of a new component. However, I think users have come to expect that they can search things in archives -- if an archiver is going to be included with Mailman, I think some search capability ought to be.
