I'm happy to inform you that it's already happened. I just haven't added
the ebuild for it yet.

If you make one bug issues out of each of your scripts and assign them
to me, I'll take add them to app-portage/gentoolkit-dev-0.2.0_pre1 as I
release it either later tonight or tomorrow.

Just some general info: Getting tools into gentoolkit-dev should be
fairly straightforward if you're willing to do the required maintenance.
As for gentoolkit, which is targeted at our users, we'll be a bit more
strict, and will only add new tools that we (the tools-portage herd) are
willing to maintain.

Experience tells us that most of the tools that have gone into
gentoolkit over the years were not maintained by the original
contributor, despite vehement insistence and oaths of proper
maintainenance from the original contributor(s) at inclusion time.

Kind regards,

Karl T
