Do you really need to "integrate" it? It's easy enough to run Mailman
and Zope side-by side.

All you need to do is prevent Apache from handing off /mailman and
/pipermail to Zope and hand them off to Mailman instead.  A couple
Directory blocks and a pair of RewriteRules are all it takes.

The only real shortcoming I know of is that you'll need to maintain
Mailman admin passwords and Zope admin passwords separately... hardly
that big a deal for most sites.

HTH,
