Can we possibly get this branch merged and a release made?
From what I remembered from 2.5 year ago was that the fix was pretty small. I think I only had to call some setuptools function, basically. Would it be an idea to move zc.buildout out of the zope svn repo into github? It is quite central to many non-zope projects and nobody outside of zope is going to bother with a contributor agreement, I think. And some extra outside effort into buildout would be nice. A good thing about github (or xxx or yyy) would be the ease of pull requests. And a pull request coupled with a visible bug report "scripts don't work" stands more chance of being included than a 2.5 year old simple fix in some branch with some old mailinglist messages. And... I'd love a list of current maintainers of zc.buildout that are allowed to commit to trunk. iirc Jim only works on the python 3 port ("1.5.x is too hard to understand now") and the 1.5.x trunk itself hasn't seen any development lately as far as I could see, despite people being stuck on 1.4.x. So... who's maintaining buildout right now?
