I would worry about locking on the databases. Mailman handles this via a lock file in a common directory, so it should work even in active-active, but you would still only have one mailman process able to run on a list at one time. In other words, I don't think you would get much better

If you move up to the 2.1B5 version of mailman then you can use an SQL database to store the list information and membership information. Then with some judicious use of SQL commands you can set the users to all use the same passwords. You can actually do the same thing using the 2.0.x version
