Since the SoC code is written against the trunk, I'll answer these
questions for MM2.2.

a.) I would like to allow "email login", where a passwordless user receives an email confirmation link. Whom should I send this as?
Should I inject it into mailman's queue?

If you want to allow for a simple reply to confirm the action, you'll
need to use the same code that uses Pending.py to generate a cookie
and a database entry, then send the email from a request address with
a cookied from address. See something like MailList.InviteNewMember().

b.) If the UI could be notified when changes occur on the command line or via email, I could do some more intelligent caching. What's the
best place to make that happen?

It depends on what you want to be notified of. In general, a Handler
module is a good place to have actions occur in response to emails.
There isn't a central place to drop things to react to command line
actions.

c.) I'd like to have events and observers and whatnot; this is down
the road a bit, for 'improved' digest support among other things. Would it be inappropriate to have a UIEventsRunner ?

Think of the runners as a way to get some concurrency out of the
system without biting the big bitter apple of threads. Runners are
focussed on actions involving emails though. Without more detail, I
can't say that a UIEventsRunner makes sense, but it's not out of the
question.
