Oh. https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/ListHelperAntiSpam says:

"Actually, the listhelper system is not tied to gnu.org in any way.
A few people are using it for handling non-GNU mailman lists as well."

so I thought it would be no trouble from a technical point of view.

Hmm also. I have admin access to the machine and would be happy to
install said scripts for you, or to give you access to do it yourself.
If it's not easy to adapt the scripts, I guess we can forget about it.
