Well, it's a nothing more than git commit and push once you sent me your public SSH key :-D One of the stronger points for collaborating at the source is that poeple who are not Gentoo devs (yet) and therefore have no write access to the Gentoo tree can still extend and fix the Gentoo packagemap entries. Doing it downstream would hurt the whole project in several ways. Sebastian
