Considering the scope and the amount of pacakges that gnome@g.o currently oversees (200+), we (gnome@g.o) have to prioritise which packages are added. Now, if a developer has interest in that particular package and is willing to maintain it, then by all means it is up to that developer :) Thinking more about it, there probably should be some sort of bug fixing day or new ebuild fixing day once a month or something where a list of all the outstanding ebuilds are listed and then devs who are interested in them should assign themselves to them and/or comment on what needs to be improved. But without a real proposal or implementation, this would just be something that I just mindlessly blurted out off the top of my head. > ebuilds as you appear to be.
