Just as an editorial comment --- you're certainly not doing anything
wrong, it's just that the list is more a random collection of people
who happen to look at things every now and then and less a formal
development group than you probably imagine. So a bit more patience
and a bit more prodding is required than you'd perhaps naturally
expect. Think of it as a bunch of people sitting reading the
newspaper and looking up every now and then rather than a committee
sitting expectantly looking at you...
FWIW, I agree the pushd / popd behaviour isn't ideal and I've
been using the "cdr" contributed function and its relatives for
quite a while now (see zshcontrib). I wrote this and am happy
to update it.
