I wouldn't mind handling the mailing-list side of the story - grabbing all ebuilds and putting them wherever and informing whoever. But many ebuilds come through for packages I don't use and in many cases can't test. I don't think any one developer could or should handle the testing, that's why we have teams. We can have an "incoming" ebuild tree (in cvs or elsewhere) and developers could grab ebuilds that fall under their area of interest, test them and put them either in the stable or unstable cvs trees. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
