Well, generally the ebuild goes to the developer(s) whom would probably
end up being responsible for the ebuild.  For example, if you posted an
ebuild for a game, the Gentoo Games Team would get the bug.  One of the
team would take the ebuild and test it.  If the ebuild syntax looks
good, then we would add it to portage as ~arch for the architectures we
can test.  If after an unspecified period of time (usually 30-90 days)
there are no outstanding bugs for the ebuild, it then gets changed to
stable.

I know that doesn't cover every case, but that is the general way it
works.
