okay, you just got a generic answer, so I figure I'd post this one too:
there is a list, also known as ftp-release-list@gnome.org .. We are
subscribed, if you post a bug to repeat that info to us, you are simply
cluttering our buglists.   My current -unread- list of bugs is way over
six thousand.  around a thousand of those are Gnome related.  See my
issue?

Also, submitting your own version does very little when you don't tell
what you changed.   Better use the "diff -u" command to show us.  if its
only the change of "mv nautilus-$OLDVERSION.ebuild
nautilus-$NEWVERSION.ebuild" ... don't bother.

in your case, the only difference is a (broken, on top of it) change of
the eel dependency from $PV to strict .1 (when .2 is the latest....) 

Also, unstable releases never end up in the tree, but are maintained
(usually ;) in paralell by devs, who then at some time compare notes and
push it into the tree as package.masked during the rc phase of Gnome
development.


Make my work a bit easier, dont file bugs for every of the 60+ packages
released.

( And yes, I saw the announcement of Gnome 2.6.2... I was in the room at
 GVADEC )


Sorry if I sound harsh and bitter, but I'm wading through bugreport
emails right now, and its not made much easier by annoying extras.
