[gentoo-dev] Mobile Computing herd severely understaffed

Hi all,

The mobile herd, a group of laptop and mobile-computing related
ebuilds, desperately needs more maintainers.

We are severely understaffed with only 8 maintainers (several which
are not active in the herd) for 114 ebuilds. We have quite a few
maintainer-wanted bugs sitting in bugzilla too. Personally, I maintain
52 ebuilds - much more than I can find the time for.

So, all of the developers out there using Gentoo on laptops: please
take a couple of minutes to see if you use any of the ebuilds
maintained by the mobile herd and consider offering to help with
maintaining it/them :)

Sincerely,
Brix

Since I'm not a developer, I can't exactly help with maintaining, but, I
got two laptops so, I bet I could test anything out which you might need
tested. Just let me know if that would help in any way (I got a ton of
free time and nothing to do, so, might as well :)

Cool, thanks - we need all the help we can get. May I suggest you read
the "Becoming a developer" chapter [1] in our developer handbook? It
lists some of the many ways you can help out.

Regards,
Brix

I'm on devaway for a month, but when I'm back, ping me and I'll see if I can
help out in any way. Since I really need to help out with x86 AT anyway, I might
as well double up and do laptop-related stuff if possible.

x86 AT O_o *bonks nightmorph on the head* you're a developer! that's
almost, well entirely, a step in the opposite direction. We could use
the help on the x86 team as well. And we're not overbearing, only
needing you to test 4 packages in a month with three warnings of
inactivity before getting the boot. You know you love us as well >^.^<
