I just looked at the code briefly. Why in the world would I start to 
reimplement Mailman? This is like the guy on Python-Tutor who started 
writing his own Mailing List handler. Mailman has a lot of features that 
would be too annoying for me to implement in my own solution; talking about 
reinventing the wheel here.

I think integrating Mailman in Zope is much smart than starting my own 
Mailing List Handler using Zope. No offense, but the guy could have put 
some effort into Mailman and ZMailman and would have accomplished much more 
at the end of the day. So, it looks cool at the beginning, but ...

Well yeah, Barry's opinion is: The sooner it gets out the door the better. 
They really just wait for the bug fixes to be made.

Regards,
Stephan
