It seems reasonable to me that it *should* work, though I'm not sure how to write the code which tests that.
See my later follow-up as well.
In particular, while it *may* be reasonable to set the ZF as maintainer, it's not clear that it's the right thing either. Why shouldn't some "Grok Team" be listed as the maintainer for the grok packages, with an appropriate email? That seems preferable to me.
I think the *right* thing to do is update the copyrights to reflect the copyright ownership, but not to otherwise change package metadata.
Why was the check for author even included in the checker/fixer scripts? Can you point us to the Zope Foundation bylaws or a policy document that requires this? I cannot find this in a contributor agreement. Zvezdan
