By design, Mailman core doesn't need to talk to the Internet or to the secure internal network -- Internet functions are delegated to the MTA and the webapps, and local configuration is via shell access which in principle could be console.
Sorry, I missed this earlier.
Ironically I am doing exactly what you are suggesting -- splitting the django frontend web app from the mailman core. In my current case I have put the mailman core on the same host as my mailserver, but that was for the sake of simplicity while I got that split sorted -- I am using exim and there is a big benefit when exim can see the list directory names. I may eventually move mailman-core elsewhere.
However, I find the mailman shell program not very intuitive, and so would prefer to have the web app for admin purposes.
