Rarely a good idea. That removes a layer of QA. 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.
