I don't recall any corporation writing any code either:  developers
write code.  In particular, you (Zvezdan) wrote the original zope.minmax
implementation (or else you were in violation of the contributor
agreement when you checked it in).  As your employer, Zope Corporation
authorizes you as a contributor to do so, but it isn't an author in any
sense that matters outside its historical, no-longer-obtaining role as
the copyright holder.

Since Christian has fixed the script to stop enforcing any particular
value in the author field, feel free to update it:  I would prefer to
have the actual developer's name there, but if you truly feel it should
be "Zope Corporation", then that's OK by me.
