My foul was even greater than I thought.  I didn't change the license
(and don't particularly want to except...) and yet I carelessly let a
non-zope-contributor become a buildout developer.

   https://github.com/buildout

Honestly, I wasn't even thinking in these terms and should have been.

I probably should have truly forked buildout if I wanted to be free
from the restriction of having only zope contributors. Maybe I still
should.  buildout probably shouldn't have been in the zope repo to
begin with.

It so happens that the one non-zope-contributor is planning to become a
zope contributor, we'll soon be in the state that all of the buildout
developers are contributors again.
