[Zope] Mailing list integration

If the ZMailman project is inactive, maybe it's time to either 
resuscitate it or start something new. When I first looked at that work, 
I worried that it was too ambitious and too tied to Mailman 3 to yield 
results any time soon.

Mailman's code exposes all the functionality that's necessary for Zope 
integration. I've written some wrappers that make a lot of the 
functionality available from within a Zope Mailman-list object. _If_ a 
Zope-Mailman project got going, I would happily contribute these, as 
well as work on the project.
