I think the one (possible) looming big change is mimelib.  Guido's
accepted it into the standard library, but it's going to be called the
"email" package.  I'm working on cleaning that up and commiting it to
Py2.2.

I think I've pretty much decided though that for Mailman we'll stick
with mimelib as it stands in its SF project, with perhaps a minor
tweak here and there.  I haven't quite decided how to bundle it with
Mailman (either as a distutils thing the Mailman installation process
installs automatically, or as a subdirectory of Mailman/pythonlib).

I think I won't change Mailman until Python 2.2 is required (don't
expect that soon, given that Python 2.2 is itself not in beta).

That is unless it gets too hard to maintain two sets of the mimelib
code base.
