Im sure that there are more than a few dev that would be willing to 
proxy maintain the package, if a user is prepared to standup and take 
responsibility for it.  Currently it seems that the package doesn't 
build for everyone ( by having a quick look at #201093 ) and this is 
something that any maintainer would have to rectify [1].

If your prepared to do it there are plenty of resources to help you 
along.  Checkout http://devmanual.gentoo.org and jump on 
irc://freenode/#gentoo-dev-help if you have any ebuild related questions.

[1] Sometimes I get the impression that users think that as long as a 
package works for them, that it works.  This sadly isn't the case.
