Hi there

net-proxy/squid needs your love. Bug #311927 and Bug #304751 require a
version bump. Our user community did an excellent job there providing an
improved ebuild for that. Furthermore there are several open security
bugs wrt squid [1][2][3][4]. net-proxy herd what is your status?
Security bugs should be your first priority. If you are unable to
maintain certain packages you could ask for help instead of staying
quiet. Maybe we should list this
package as maintainer-needed and request some proxy-maintainers from our
user community. What do you think about that?

@Council: Yet another example that we need to track the status of every
single project in order to have a clear picture of which projects are
active and which are dead

@QA: Should step up and commit these ebuilds just to get
rid of the security bugs which, frankly, don't look that good ( distro
wise ). I know technically is not our job, but we need to step up here
and either fix the security bugs since net-proxy can't do that, or mask
this package which is a no-go.
