There is a mailing list, in fact there are several mailing lists. What I do 
is to convert all my mailing lists into local newsgroups using a program 
called hamster. That way, so far as I am concerned there is a Zope 
newsgroup local.zope (also local.zope.dev &c.) Posts to the local newsgroup 
are relayed back to the mailing list.

The main drawback to hamster for many people (but I guess from your 
email, not for you) is that most of the documentation is only available in 
German.

See http://www.tglsoft.de/ for the latest version. You need quite a recent 
build to get support for posting back to mailing lists (I have 1.3.23.170).
