How about something that steps through each list's list_members,
extracts their Mailman password, runs that (their Mailman password)
through htpasswd, appends to an htaccess file, which you'd then use
for authorization against a <LocationMatch> rule in Apache (or the
equivalent in nginx) -- LocationMatch, so you can use regexp for the
filename to correspond to the listname.

Cron it, and problem "solved"?
