We plan to have the new zope.org site, with collector, up-and-running
Real Soon Now (TM) (in fact, we could just create the collector on
new.zope.org, I think, and handle dumping and reloading it if / when we
re-migrate from the existing www.zope.org content).
In the meantime, we need *some* mechanism, especially for bugs related
to security.
