Hey there,
like etc-update and dispatch-conf _conf-update_ seems to be one of the
more central tools in Gentoo.
I have the impression that it is unmaintained because...
- metadata.xml says maintainer-needed, and
- upstream seems to be a single _retired_ Gentoo dev, only.
There is lots of smaller task you could start with:
- Clean up the (rather messy) ebuild
- Integrate patches from the ebuild into a new release
- Fix ugly compile warnings
If you are fluid in C but not Ebuilds we may find a proxy or mentor for
you. Please contact us, i.e. please reply to the thread on gentoo-dev.
Thanks!
Sebastian
