Hi,

The following packages are up for grabs because of proxied maintainer
inactivity:
* dev-libs/protobuf
* dev-python/protobuf-python
* dev-java/protobuf-java (technically still has java@)

Please be aware that there's a rat's nest to be disentangled
here. protobuf is tightly coupled with dev-cpp/abseil-cpp and we really
need a virtual or similar because abseil-cpp linkage now leaks into
protobuf consumers. Both have unstable ABI. See
https://bugs.gentoo.org/912819#c4.

thanks,
sam
