I'm afraid there is nothing like a "normal" period. It depends on quite
a few factors... for example, if a developer is interested in the program,
if he thinks he will be able to maintain it, how clean the ebuild looks,
air pressure, moon phase...

Perhaps someone else who needs it will find it when searching
bugs.gentoo.org for it. Try to see it as a "user contributed ebuilds"
database aswell.
