Probably, depending on what exactly you mean by "pluggable".

FWIW ezmlm-idx right now supports $QMAILQUEUE.

While it would be nice to just drop in an existing interface, the fact
is that it will have to integrate into the existing sources, and it will
have to be maintained.  I am leery of having to maintain Perl code whose
current maintainer is "tired of Perl" (as am I).

Actually, providing a nice web interface for subscribers to manage their
subscription(s) is a higher immediate priority in my mind than an
interface for managers, although both are important.  Simply put, there
are always going to be more subscribers than managers (though it is the
list managers that will decide what software to use).
