SLUG uses woody, postfix and mailman. All very good choices, as far as we
are concerned. :-)

Yes and yes.

Yes.

Archiving, sure, but it's arsy internal pipermail foo. SLUG uses MHonArc (as
does gnome.org), and I know that Anand has patches for Mailman to use
MHonArc similiarly to pipermail (our changes use external archiver support),
but Mailman does not have a searching facility build in - SLUG uses namazu
(as does gnome.org), which has a nice MHonArc mode for contextual searching.
