Hi,
Some time ago I've made an effort to split ejabberd into proper
dependencies handled by portage rather than repackaging bundle produced
by rebar. While I've found that easier to maintain, my lack of
knowledge about Erlang makes maintenanace quite difficult. I'd
appreciate if someone who actually has some experience in Erlang helps
maintaining it.
Kind regards,

Hello friend,
I would like to see Erlang receive continued maintenance and may be
able to help (note I am not as experienced as some). However this
would be my first time working with portage at such a level.
I apologize if my post is too forward for this list.
Regards,
R0b0t1

Wonderful, and not too forward at all. =:^)
The gentoo mechanism by which non-gentoo devs maintain or co-maintain
packages is called proxy maintenance:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers
For packages such as this one that you'd be co-maintaining along-side the
existing maintainer, you obviously work with them and have already
initiated contact there. You also need to contact the proxy-maintainer
project to initiate that angle. There's further details and additional
resources on the linked page, above.

Hello,
I am waiting to forward this comment chain to proxy-maint@gentoo.org
pending a reply from aidecoe, or waiting for him to do the same at his
leisure. It is possible someone else may reply that is a better fit. I
am not very smart, sir, and I do not want to disappoint the Gentoo
project.
The developer's manual was easy enough to find
(https://devmanual.gentoo.org/). Are there subsections of that manual
or related documents you (or aidecoe) would suggest I read in their
entirety before starting? I am vaguely aware of standards documents
and style guidelines that are important for code committed to the main
portage tree.
Respectfully,
R0b0t1

Hi R0b0t1,
Thank you for you interest. Any help is welcome. You don't need to be
experienced in writing ebuilds too much, but I'd expect some insight or
some interest in Erlang to figure out why the hell sometimes a package
just doesn't compile. Please look at bug reports related to dev-erlang
and ejabberd. Toralf has reported lots of bugs.
Cheers,
