I vote for remove this package from the core.

I'm fine with removing this package from the distribution
and copy the content into a wiki.

I think we should find maintainers for every package or a 
bunch of them and cleanup strictly all other parts. 
Perhaps this will give us a positive sideeffect in fixing 
bugs.

Perhaps it's realy time that the zope foundation give us
a OK to implement the ZSCP process. If we whould have 
such a process we shouldn't have a problem with unmentained
packages in the future.
