or rather move it from gentooexperimental.org to "official" gentoo infrastructure (?)

Would be better if
(1) it wasn't Mr_Bones alone and
(2) there was an agreed on policy so that (if needed) repeat offenders
can be sanctioned
(e.g. by flipping their commit bit)
that of course needs some backing from the general dev population and
devrel, also the policies should be properly defined so that noone can
weasel out by invoking "it's always been like this"

I hope I'm not alone in my quest for higher QA standards :-)

wkr,
Patrick
