Actually the Portage Team's lack of communication was brought to my
attention recently by Tsunam after a lengthy discussion on irc.  I was
on the team, I certainly knew what was going on ;)  Same with QA.  Same
with (mostly) infra since I hang out in -infra all day long.  But as it
has been noted in the past that not everyone can hang in every channel
and "get a feel for what is going on" I figured I would volunteer to
relay information.
