I doubt that there would be any objections if you want to take over 
responsibility and ownership over this particular subproject.

How much will your company offer? Will you work on getting the funding 
together?

What does that mean?

I am only upset to continuous postings containing a lot of hot air without 
any kind of outcome. I bring it back the point: you have legitimate 
interest in ZClasses. Most of the core developers don't have such an 
interest. It is now *your turn* to do something for ZClasses - either by 
finding a volunteer to fix outstanding issues or by fundraising to pay a 
talented ZClasses maintainer. Sorry for repeating myself but I don't see 
any progress on the ZClasses front. As release manager I want to make clear 
that I don't want to ship further Zope 2 releases with packages that are in 
a bad shape and partly broken (I am not talking of packages that are in bad 
shape but that do work :-)).
