These are still proposals -- still not effective.
I'd be very surprised and disappointed if you needed to be "invited" to contribute code!
If your read the foundation's policy you will find something like:
Becoming a contributor is an honour.... ... You need to be invited. ... Intially, the foundation assigns initial contributors who may invite additional ones.
That does not mean that you cannot contribute code -- e.g. as patches attached to bug reports or feature requests (as I already do). It simply means that you do not get write access to the code repository.
I will note that all the ZC folks I have spoken with agree that the *initial* invitations will go out to current contributors; it is quite conceivable that others, such as yourself, would be included as well, even in that initial bootstrapping phase. I for one think your contributions to the Zope ecology are very significant, and look forward to the day when we can collaborate more directly in the source tree.
