Then open a reduced number of bugs, say one per portage category that 
has over 20 bugs and group the rest in a one or 2 other bug reports.

Then bug wranglers can start sifting through the list to see if you've 
been smoking crack or not and add relevant herds/arch teams/maintainers 
as CC to those bugs to get them fixed.

I've done this before on a much smaller scale (20+ packages) and others 
have too for other issues (eg. Flameeyes with WANT_AUTO* which started 
out as a huge list of 100+ packages) and this process has always worked 
fine so far.

Bugzilla is still the fastest lane around. We're not the LKML, bugzilla 
_is_ our primary tool.

Honestly, this is borderline paranoia. Most of us get bug reports from 
people we've never heard of, living in countries we've never been to, 
with ages and social backgrounds that we don't even know (or care) about.

And I have yet to see a Gentoo dev closing a bug as 
WONTFIXBECAUSEIDONTLIKEYOU. :)

I'll add that Bugzilla is also very neutral, even more so than mailing 
lists AFAICS.

Cheers,
