Well, the bug is assigned to williamh, who is not /completely/ inactive. I 
wonder, if only 37 commits in more than two years suffices for cvs access, 
though.

You're wrong here. What I'm inclined about is that we had (leastwise) a 
fourteen day short notice to when the releaase snapshot would be taken. To 
the end of this time frame there was another one that we'd release with GCC 
4.x. Even if we had enough people to deal with everything thrown at us,it 
would have been impossible to fix and stabilize the relevant packages on all 
architectures. 

If I had known this as estimated goal two months earlier, I'd had switched to 
GCC 4.x a while before and noticed the bug, instead when it is too late. I 
consider this part of what is broken within Gentoo communication-wise.
