Of course they have been criticized by Ciaran.  In case you didn't know, 
he does this for *every* maintainer-wanted ebuild.  They are only 
rejected as long as they have problems.  If you fix them, they will be 
accepted if some dev takes responsibility for them, or is recruited to 
maintain them.  It's really that simple  Sounds like a case where you 
can't stand to have anyone review your work.

No, it isn't irrelevant.  We strive to make the portage tree to be of 
high quality.  Why settle for less?
