Well, look at sys-auth/bioapi.  The ebuild is written (and maintained)
by an ex-developer, SeJo.  He sends me the updates, and I commit them.
About the only thing that I do is run them through repoman and check
that they're not doing fun things like "rm -rf /" in pkg_preinst.  ;]

Of course, they're super-new, so there's no bugs, but once a bug gets
filed on it, I'll be sure that SeJo is added to CC, if he isn't added by
the bug wrangler.  At that point, I'll expect him to fix it.  In the
end, *I* am ultimately responsible for the package, since I am the
developer that "maintains" it, but the workload on me is minimal, at
most.

If your package was added to an overlay and the bug was closed, it was
closed in error.  Bug reports (unless they pertain to an overlay itself)
don't get closed until the bug is "FIXED" in the main tree.
