This is why I thought it was better to group them, so at least they
will get in all in once.

What are the main reasions for this latency ?
I imagine the package need to be tested somehow.

How is this "new system" you are talking about ?
How is the "old system", from a maintainer perspective ?
  What appens "afterwards" ?

  Wouldn't be nice if new ebuilds would committed to
a middle place (purgatory) where they wait in a queue.
  But in the mean time audacious users could try the ebuilds
(simply downloading them with ftp, or ebuild rsyinc-purgatory -> 
/usr/portage/purgatory) so at least they can be tested.
  Does it make sense ?
