What is the best way to integrate a mailing list with
MediaWiki? The aim
here is to run a mailing list for a website running MediaWiki where the
website subscribers can opt in and out either during registration or
afterwards, or register with the mailing list without having an account on
the site.
Has anyone implemented this? Are there plugins that will help with this
setup?

I think you should set one of them as the "master" account. In your case
I'd make all users register on the wiki and add an extension for
handling the email. Although you could also make mediawiki accounts
based on the mailing list users with an AuthPlugin
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin
If you want users to have either mailing list or mediawiki account, they
are independent. I don't see the integration in that case, so just run
both programs.
An extension to integrate with mailing software would be interesting,
though.
