For my lists, I use the archive2.pl script that comes with Majordomo to
collect the messages into monthly mbox files, then run MHonArc on them
nightly.  (Actually I run Wilma nightly, which takes care of running
MHonArc and building the Glimpse indexes.)

You don't have to run Majordomo to use archive2.pl.  I archive lists not at
my site using recipes like the following:

:0
*^From (owner-)?censored
{
        :0 cw :censored.lock
        | /usr/local/lists/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -a -m -f
        /path/to/archive/directory
 
        :0: 
        spool/censored.spool
}

This recipe also deposits the messages in an incoming spool so Gnus can
pick them up.  Adjust to taste.
