Sure. The repository is on:

http://www.latex-project.org/svnroot/latex2e-public/required/babel/

Until now, there are only changes in the test files.

As to the mailing list, I'm not sure. There is the latex-l
list, but it's intended mainly for LaTeX3, and babel is a
LaTeX2e (and Plain) thing, but after cleaning up babel there
will be very likely further work on a new multilingual core
for LaTeX3, and I presume discussing babel will be ok.

Remember what I said in my first post -- as far as babel
is concerned, the goal is mainly to fix bugs, to make babel
compatible with XeTeX and LuaTeX (and just that) and perhaps
to add a few minor features, that's all, because a new core
is clearly necessary. Work on the latter, however, will
start later and not right now -- understanding better the
problems in babel will help in the development of the new
core.
