We are 2 or 3 non-dev volonteers. pchrist is busy with life and
common-lisp stuff, grozin and radhermit give a hand on some
packages. The lisp overlay guys are easily rechable through
#gentoo-lisp or gentoo-lisp mailing list.

About guile, I'm the only one having touched it for the last 2 years
[1]. I think I could proxy-maint it, with an experienced dev in
eselect modules and multiple SLOT packages.

I could. Even if I do think that hop in the tree is not needed
currently, it does not build, it is very outdated. I think people
using it use it from the lisp overlay where I just pushed 2.4.0.

I won't object if dev-scheme/hop is tree-cleaned. I'd better finish my
quizzes first :-)
