In order for mailman to query the required data, it has to communicate with the archivers (like Hyperkitty) and that in turn means that the archiver must be running.

This is true for HyperKitty, it seems, but not true in general. As long as the algorithm is independent of the archive's organization, the algorithm can be implemented in the plug-in that the archiver provides to Mailman core. The IETF's Mailarchive has done this for a generation using an algorithm similar to HyperKitty's.
