Suggested solution for Zope Corp.: Just look at Debian organisation: There is a maintainer for every package. If a maintainer wants to stop maintainance (which seems to be tha case for some of Zope products) he is obliged to declare to orphan the package. If there is no volunteer for the package in question there is a Quality Assurance team which cares for bugs/ enhancements/new versions. ... People who like to provide patches could send them to the BTS and so they will not be lost in space for further development.
