I run a large number of Majordomo lists with Hypermail archives. It works
really well, and is so far the only thing that I use Hypermail for...
The typical entry in aliases.majordomo would be something like:
testlist: "| /usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l testlist -h
mail.mydomain.com testlist-outgoMr993, nobody"
testlist-owner: owner-testlist
owner-testlist: me@mydomain.com
testlist-outgoMr993: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/testlist,
testlist-hm
testlist-hm: "| /usr/local/bin/hypermail -i -u -c
/path/to/website/hypermail/testlist/.hmrc"
The last two entries really are the only important ones for your question.
There is a mail alias for "testlist-hm" which simply takes the message
when it goes out to the list and drops it into hypermail at the same time.
You can also subscribe the "testlist-hm@mail.mydomain.com" to the list, but
that screws up subscriber counts, etc.
The key parameters are "-i" which means grab the message from standard
input and the -u which means update the archive instead of recreating it.
I also wrote a little sed filter which strips off the [listname] subject
prefix which many of my lists have. This seems to make the website a
little cleaner, since (unlike your inbox), the archive is only about one
list...
in a file named ".filt"
s/^Subject:\(.*\)\[.*\]/Subject:\1/
Then my testlist-hm alias becomes:
testlist-hm: "|sed -f /path/to/.filt | /usr/local/bin/hypermail -i
-u -c /path/to/website/hypermail/testlist/.hmrc"
I can use the same .filt file for all of my lists with subject prefixes
that are in the form: "subject_prefix = [$LIST] " (although it would also
strip out [other words] in the middle of the Subject if they were in
brackets, but so far that hasn't come up.)
Hope that is somewhat helpful.

I've never seen one.
I usually have one 'maildump' account that has a .forward to run hypermail properly, and then I add maildump in the "list-outgoing" alias.
