I appreciate the idea, but security-wise it's pretty dangerous - given that 
you as a Gentoo dev are doing sensitive work that may affect many people on a 
machine not controlled by you yourself nor Gentoo Infra.

Call me paranoid, but please no. And in absolutely no case one should commit 
to the tree from such a machine, even with stuff like agent forwarding.
