Because it is one of the best known mailing list software packages, it does
it's job _very_ well, has a very good interface, a complete featureset, ...

I tried to write something similar in PHP once, but i stopped that project
very soon. Sending lot's of emails (whether you use a loop or BCC or
whatever) is not the task you love to do using PHP (IMHO).

And to rephrase your question (somewhat): Why should I use something not
written in Python, it it works?.

It should be easy to integrate the web interface of mailman by means of a
plugin.

Just my 2c,
