As I mentioned before, I think it's a great idea :)

I think that you should give it some time for any objections to be
raised. If none are, you should go ahead.

Perhaps seek out Gediminas' opinion. As he is the next most active
member of pkg-zope-developers and would probably have to join DPMT to
carry on with the ZRK package maintenance.
