[Zope-Coders] bug in ZPublisher.BaseRequest

A grep shows that type_converters is defined in
lib/python/ZPublisher/Converters.py, as a dictionary, so you can
probably import it from there.

I have a general question: who's gonna port all the things you just
fixed on the trunk to the 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 branches?  I don't
understand how these branches are being managed any more, and by
whom.  Is anyone paying attention to make sure things like this don't
fall between the cracks?
