The source would have to be reformatted to fit at least in some way
with the Zope standard :-) Any volunteers?

Unlikely a problem. Unit tests can not be replaced with doctests
if you want to cover edge cases.

No a  problem (for me).

No problem for importing the current state of your package on svn.zope.org.
But we need a volunteer to integrate the packages for Zope 2.11. I think 
your code contains some ZCatalog monkeypatches...the related code has to be 
integrated properly.
