Thats fine to everyone i think. Referring to github this would require 
to give write access only to people who have signed the agreement.

How does this 'clear gesture' from the non-contributor look like right 
now? A patch attached to an email or a bug report? As Lennard pointed

Convenience, which I feel is driving the move towards GitHub, is nice to have. But I would not do my job if I didn't make extra-sure that any move for Zope Foundation code did not fulfil all legal requirements before spending much thought on convenience.
Also perfectly fine.

Maybe it's anyway a good idea to find a process enabling contributors 
going to github with ZF code.
