It will be. It's viewable on groups.nfgi.net.

It's a really annoying problem I haven't been able to pin down
yet. For my own product development I've abandonded zpt for factory
forms for now. It was delaying me just too much. It occurs when you
combine refresh/remove/add actions, which I do a lot when I'm fleshing
out the interface for a product.

I've been thinking about that one as well. It would be a trivial thing
to do, but perhaps it should be postponed untill after the product has
stabilized, or offer it as an option in the factory form or even as an
separate option in the management interface. I'm not sure how zope
reacts to something like for instance:

if not hasattr(self,'manage_view_lists'):
        manage_look = PageTemplateFile('zpt/manage_view_lists')

Mmm, Way cool.

Imagine allowing managers to dump the management templates for
customization while retaining the buildin defaults as fall-back.

Please do. I'm currently working on figuring out a way to reload
mm_cfg without having to restart zope as appears to be the case just
now. Not even refreshing the product works. I think modifications in
the mailman config should be reflected in the zmailman interface
without delay.
