Now... is there a way to import mbox files into the prototype archiver? Looking around, I haven't found anything mentioning this. Since it's just using the Maildir format, I guess I could find a tool that unpacks messages from an mbox to a Maildir destination and get that done, but if mailman has some command to do that, it would be even better.

There is no Mailman command to do this, but a Python script is very simple. Something like

from mailbox import Maildir, mbox
mb = mbox('path/to/mbox', create=False)
md = Maildir('path/to/maildir', create=False)
for msg in mb:
     md.add(msg)
mb.close()
md.close()
