List,

There are currently 1066 open bugs assigned to
maintainer-wanted@gentoo.org.

Could everyone please take a moment to scan through them?

Thanks,

More important would be imho, if everyone would take the time and have a look 
at the maintainer-needed bugs, instead continuously adding new packages while 
the share of unmaintained packages in the repository grows steadily.

 One thing I am interested would be whether or not I am allowed to add
 packages like latexmk [1] to the tree although I am not a member of the
 herd in charge of the respective category.

ask the herd ... some dont care, others would beat you with the stick stuck up 
their butts (i know games team has a log to beat devs with)

As long as you maintain it on your own and don't add this herd to metadata.xml 
without asking (that's unfriendly imho), it's your decision when you want to 
maintain something. On the other hand it's always nice to ask.

Here's a more useful list. It's a summary of the maintainer-wanted
ebuilds which are fairly unlikely to utterly suck. If anyone else wants
to help out with the REVIEWED tagging, feel free. You can get canned
responses to the most common screwups from [1].

I can also give you a list of people who throw hissy fits if you dare
suggest that their code may be anything less than perfect... It's a
pretty useful starting point for filtering out the worst of the
dross...

Do you have a list of people who contribute more than one ebuild and
might want to be a developer?

I have a rough idea of some possibles in my head. The two of which I'm
sure have both said they're not interested in becoming developers
(both, incidentally, because they got sick of being screwed around by
recruiters previously). The rest I'm not confident enough in to waste
someone else's time on them, and I don't have time (or the inclination)
to recruit them myself...

Hi,

I initially reported those two and am in the process of becoming a dev
for the text-markup herd (quizz posted almost a month ago). I'd like to
maintain them, if that is possible. And also dev-tex/rubber, which isn't
in your list but which already has some versions in the portage tree and
still needs a maintainer.


Regards,
Alexandre
