ok. whatever...

so, I have learned alot today.

* I can't become a proxy maintainer. (you guys will continue your
"fight" if its a good or bad idea having proxy maintainers and meanwhile
nothing will happen)

* It's a bad idea for me to become a dev since I only want to maintain
stuff I know I will be able to maintain. (I cant start small and take
more and more packages over time, when/if I feel I'm able to do more)

That leaves me with the conclution that its best to just continue to run
my own local portage tree and submit bugreports once in a while and hope
for the best, just like I have always been doing.

Thanks!
