The problem is two-fold:

1. Identify the people who are able (and could be convinced) to do the
review

2. Find the money to sponsor this work

Is the Zope Foundation in any position to lead this process? Who else
would be in a position to do so?

My impression is that the second problem requires only organization.
There are enough companies around in the market that still use Zope2 as
their strategic platform. I'd expect some of them to be willing to pay
for this investment. In a joined effort this should not be a huge amount
for any individual company.
