I've seen some discussion of integration with Zope or at least use of
ZODB.  I'm currently working away at a Zope product that has certain
mailing list elements.

The use of Zope would provide things like indexing and searching
pretty directly.

Are you thinking of moving in this direction, or can anyone comment on
plans in this area?  I know it would be a pretty big project to do a
complete conversion.  For example, the ZMailman project, as far as I
can tell, contemplates only using Zope to generate HTML forms, but not
to manage the underlying data of lists, users, and messages.
