I would agree that it would be a good solution, except for the next
bullet in the same document:
"The above mechanism won’t work for private archives since the
archives are gated with password and without a Mailman 2 list, there
is no password. You can however import them to Mailman 3."

Since keeping private lists private is also a requirement, that pretty
much means rolling our own auth system on top of Mailman 3 or creating
a bunch of HTTP redirect rules.
