Hey Dan,
Thanks very much for this analysis and summary! My comments below.

To be honest, I don't quite get the difference between zope.ManageSite
and zope.ManageServices. Can someone clear this point for me? May be
they should be merged somehow.
I'm afraid I don't know either. If we want to merge them we'd need to do
some analysis of places where they are used. For now, move them both over.
Services used to be a concept of the Component Architecture. This might
be a remnant permission. Is it actually used somewhere? If so, I guess
that it's fine to fold that permission into zope.ManageSite.
I will note that zope.app.applicationcontrol contains code that looks
reusable, even though it is indeed a bit more application-like. Grok's
grokui.admin uses it so it'd be interesting to extract this code into a
library we can use.
I also just discovered zope.app.applicationcontrol doesn't seem to
declare its dependencies right - it appears to depend on
zope.app.appsetup for instance while it doesn't actually declare it.
Anyway, we can always move zope.ManageApplication into
zope.app.applicationcontrol when we want to, so leave it in
zope.app.security for now.
ManageSite and ManageApplication differ in the sense that ManageSite
very likely only applies locally (at a site) whereas the application is
a global thing (the server that runs everything) that needs management
(like shutting down the server) independent of giving someone the right
to administer a site (or even the top-level site).
