I suppose it's more useful to test waters on the Zope mailing list, but then
it's almost certain that this group would get loads of votes.

I'm not sure. Just that it's written in Python doesn't seem very relevant,
and it can be extended in Perl now as well. Other options would be
comp.soft-sys.zope or comp.infosystems.www.appservers.zope or something like
that. If you want a smooth news.groups discussion (is that even possible
these days?), at least try to give more explanation why your name is better
in the RFD :).

Would the group mirror the Zope list the way comp.lang.python and the
mailing list do?

Anyway, I'd like to see it happen. Comp.lang.python is a very busy group,
but splitting it won't work well. Maybe the best way is to make some of the
mailing lists into newsgroups, and Zope is obviously big enough.
