Comment (by knarf):
Using a message id is interesting, but has the problem that while message ids are generated by most email clients, they are optional. Emails without id are perfectly valid, and any mailman modification would have to take that into account. That's probably only a minor problem.
What can be more of a problem is that a message id is user-generated, and this way would end up in an URL. We would have to make very sure this is properly escaped. I don't want to see URLs like valid_stuff@my.evil.domain.overseas on the ET archive - or similar. Also this might be not such big of a problem as the lists currently only allow known users to post, and others have to go through a filter (me).
This feature seems to be possible in Mailman 3 - with the only problem being that this isn't released yet (in it's third beta). Development is visible there, but seems to be slow.
