Thank you for maintaining it till now. Could you address the exact problems to upstream, so they are aware and can improve it? I think not only Gentoo, but also other distributions suffer if it does not build smooth. Looks to me as if the package is not broken now, but there is a lack of manpower to update it. 30 days is the minimum for a removal. I suggest to keep it for a few more months.
