Yes, sure :)
(... and sorry for the delay)

My main goal would be to use what we already have in *nix for
permissions: users and groups. Thus I would love to have a "zope" group
with a semantics like "all users in the zope group can act on zope
instances".

A first step in this direction means (to me) permitting to
all users of the group to:
1) perform all dzhandle actions on the instances (create/destroy,
   add/remove products, invoke zopectl, ...)
2) manually add external (i.e. non-debian packages) products

(2) can be either collapsed with (1) adding the corresponding feature to
dzhandle, or obtained granting write permissions to the instances dir to
the zope group.

Maybe all this is already possible and I simply don't know? ...

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.
