I will try to answer the question after best knowledge.

Not directly. Our website need to be a static html page and need to go
directly into the apache svn repository. The zone server cannot be used
to do direct commits.

However we can have a process that each committer can sync our svn repo
from the zones rep and check this in. Zones cannot be a user.

IMO editing can be any user (controlled to prevent spam), publishing
only by committer.

See above zones server cannot commit to any svn rep. This needs to be
down by us committer (via scripts etc).

We need a static export, maybe we can actually leave this part in the
hands of forrest. I think about editing and publishing with lenya and
export via forrest.

jeje, I am full hearted dev = I do not care about design I care about 
functionality. ;)

Yeah, the fault has the underlying cms. We should be better. 

Thanks Andreas for taggling this issue.
