Thanks for doing this.  Well written, clear, concise and convincing.
You would make a poor bureaucrat...
;-)

My only request is to please remove the IMO gratuitous trashing of 
zope/ODB from the opening.

OK by me, and, I'd prefer to spend some time on the issue tracker and 
make it more ready for prime time use first - which would include 
whatever long-delayed improvements for the tracker code are on my to-do 
list as well as rounding out the documentation for testing and the tracker.

In order for me to actually do that in the reasonably near future (like 
in February for example) I need to get paid for it.
I estimate $500 or less of my time at $15/hr. to get QA/testing 
resources where I'd like them to be.  That would probably include some 
stacked-function time testing 0.3.1 to generate some bugs to test 
tracker refinements.

So let me know if y'all support that or not so I can schedule it or not.

cheers,
John S.
