[gentoo-dev] Last chance to save media-plugins/bmp-outlame

bmp-outlame causes instability with large playlists, and may seriously
impair BMP's ability to play MP3 files.
It has been masked since March 12.

Should you want to save it, a patch is expected that makes it behave
correctly. If you're a dev, I expect you to maintain this package
afterwards.

If I don't hear anything by 20:00 GMT, it's a goner.

Although I am not interested in looking after this, is 4 hours and 20
minutes notice enough to claim a new maintainer?

It was scheduled for removal for a long time, I really think that anyone
interested in picking it up would have let me know by now.
Do you want me to wait longer? (I take it this is about the mail
deadline, not about the masking).

yeah its just about the email. It would be nice if you waited until say,
Tuesday, 20:00GMT before removal. It will then give those possibly
interested in it enough time to look at it.

If the ebuild has been masked for almost 2 months, I don't see a reason
to wait even longer...
