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
