I'm a fan of proxy maintaining and would be happy to proxy commits for you. Please poke me on irc.freenode.net (nick kloeri). >=20 > * It's a bad idea for me to become a dev since I only want to maintain > stuff I know I will be able to maintain.

I think proxy maintaining in those cases are a much better idea. >=20 > That leaves me with the conclution that its best to just continue to ru= n > my own local portage tree and submit bugreports once in a while and hop= e > for the best, just like I have always been doing.
