Okay, let's do this. Since the users don't seem to be able to organize
themselves, I have taken the initiative to set this up. Currently
there is the graveyard overlay on github, and I will be opening the
required bug reports to get this mirrored on git.overlays.gentoo.org
and included in layman's overlay list.
I need two things:
1. Users volunteering some time to keep this running
2. Agreement on a place to host tarballs no longer hosted upstream
People who are interested can contact me in the #gentoo-dev-help
channel on Freenode.
