For reference, here is an example of a large open source project that uses Topicbox for its mailing lists: https://illumos.topicbox.com/
It's for pay though. It also provides a JMAP interface, so you can programatically access messages (as well as having permalinks with the message and thread IDs in them)
It's not 100% designed for this usecase, but it's definitely got the nicest archive view format of any mailing list manager I've ever used.
(disclaimer: I haven't worked directly on it, but I am a part owner of the company which wrote it)
