I'm fine with posting questions to this list and "anyone" can respond
with info and suggestions, if that works. That way, it's easy to read
for anyone interested in package rescue.

No problem. Is there a suggested reading list to get current with
proxy-maint, gentoo-github basics and other useful docs for proxy work?
I already have radeontop (9999) installed on one system. Quick peek I
did not find anything pending, but I'm not the swiftest hack via
github, so some trick on checking up on what need to be done with any
package, via github, would we welcome news. I'm mostly an old C/bash
hack (cvs), so you know. Let me know, when you can, what I've missed
with radeontop, can some quick syntax to check what needs to be done
on any given package I proxy-maint.
I've not had much problem with EAPI-4 or -5 ebuilds but I need to read
the up on what's new and trending with EAPI-6.....

I've been mostly working on ebuilds via /usr/local/portage and
/var/lib/layman/ for overlays.
I do need to learn git(github) better. That's my biggest issue.
