No, the idea is to have it fully integrated with the mailing lists.
This will require a bit of work however, since it would have to be
set up, so that only subscribers to the list would be able to post
to a forum. It's not trivial, but not that difficult either.

Yea, I'd have to agree with that, however this is not the goal, and as
such, I feel my time is better spent on getting it fully functional.
I have emailed the author your suggestions for disabling the register
button, and the post reply button.

There is a delay, but it is minimal.
Currently, I receive them thru subscription to each list, so the delay
is
equal to the time it takes an email to get to my servers.
Once fully integrated, they will go as far back as the archives.

What banner?
Adjusting it to match the beta scheme should be trivial, I'll have a
look at that.
