There has been much discussion and some tentatively implementations
(but not by me).  It's very high on the list of desirables from many
people.  Some want relational database integration, some want Zope
integration, some want LDAP integration.  Or combinations of the above
(e.g. relational for list configs, but get membership rosters from
LDAP).

The critical part is going to be coming up with the data models and
the right APIs so various bits and pieces can be glued together.  It
may be time to start hashing out the requirements, leading to a design
and an API.

If someone wants to take the lead on this for now, I'd be grateful.
Write up some requirements and some specs and post it here so we can
all take a look.
