When I built something exactly like this for a non-profit circa 2002 the 
simplest and easiest thing was zope :) especially if you use the 
management interface to do everything instead of writing modules and 
doing things the naive way instead of the right way.

As to 'lean' I think that will depend on what your baseline is. If its 
j2ee frameworks almost everything is lean, if its bottle, well almost 
nothing is lean.
