Couple of corrections:

A Plone.org login is not required to subscribe to our mailing lists.
Only a mailman subscription or (preferred)  a Nabble account.  Yes,
this is somewhat redundant.

If there is someone who wants to tackle adapting Listen to Plone.org,
we have a Plone.org buildout that you can check out and start hacking.
I'd expect the big challenge would be migrate the mailing list
archives.  I'm pretty sure that the plone-admins team can help you get
a dump from mailman if you want to tackle it.
