Go back and read my posting about why many ebuilds don't get into the
tree.

If you fix those issues, and fix that ebuild.=20
Things to fix:
add SLOT, add KEYWORDS, add IUSE, 'use foo' statement style, use PATCHES
instead of patch+src_unpack, local variable declarations, unnessicary
statement block in src_install, broken homepage URI, ALL documentation
with the package should be installed (manpages and even the guys pgp
key) , einstall instead of 'make install' and most importantly EBUILD
CHANGELOG!!!!!

Is libcap even actively maintained still? If not and it is not widely
used, then it is not likely to get into the tree at all.

If you resolve all of the above issues, and the package is still widely
used (I want some proof of this), then I'll take the ebuild and maintain
it in portage myself.

Update the bug with your new ebuild and mark the old ones obsolete.
