Tres explained that very well, I think. I also did some comply-with-repos-policy checkins based on zope.repositorypolicy complaints and stumbled about one point: z.repositorypolicy requires to set the `author` field in setup.py to read ``Zope Foundation and Contributors``. While this is possibly a valid value for that field, I wonder why you cannot also set individual authors or groups of them. The problem: - Is the Zope Foundation really the author of the works checked in (in the juridical sense) or shouldn't we make a difference between an author (like "Mark Twain") and a copyright holder (like the "Mark Twain Foundation") stated in COPYRIGHT.txt? - Sometimes it is simply handy to know whom to ask directly when some problem occurs with a package. Yes, one can lookup the SVN history, but it's often much quicker to simply look in setup.py or on PyPI. Just curious, -- Uli
