Anyone interested in cosponsoring work on a tighter integration of Plone and Mailman?

Dear all
Just proving the list is not entirely moribund :-)
We are running a closed site for a trade union project, with multiple
groups and roles
We are on Plone 2.1 and our developers could find no product robust
enough to handle email lists from within Plone for each of the groups
and/or roles
At the moment, we have Mailman running on a separate server, with no
capability to authenticate mail list users against their Plone
attributes
We can avoid some of the potential risks of getting inappropriate/
unauthorised users on each of the lists by placing links to Mailman
sign-up pages in locations in the Plone site requiring appropriate
permissions, and will be moderating both posts and subscriptions.
But we would prefer that the list membership was able to
automatically cross-reference against Plone membership attributes to
avoid too much manual work for administrators if membership grows.
Our developers have suggested some days of research to establish
development costs, and then the development itself.
We have expressed an interest in finding a solution for the Plone
community, especially if there is enough interest to find a cosponsor.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Ben Rudder
