>From conversations with Jim, it sounds like he wants to return to the
days when it was really easy to take an arbitrary Python app, write a
bit of adapter code, and suddenly it becomes a Zope application.  In
that sense, and with some of the pluggable architecture I'm
contemplating for the future, I think it should happen.

OTOH, I don't want Mailman to be `just' a Zope app.  The balance is in
making it much easier for Zope and Mailman to be integrated without
raising the entry bar for Mailman too high for non-Zope sites.

Definitely!  We should probably have that conversation on
mailman-developers@python.org, or at least crosspost it.  Don't forget
about the Mailman wiki:
