Just to let you guys know, us users thank you too.  It's not a glamorous
job, but there was a lot of cruft built up and it needed done, and some of
us (yes, even users) appreciate it.

 New packages not yet in the tree  -> sunrise
 Old crufty packages removed from the tree -> sunset

Got it?

So, why was this one punted, anyway? The bug was fixed in the new
version, and an updated ebuild was submitted?

As Jakub pointed out in #88580 
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88580), killsoft retired and no one 
stepped up to maintain this package. As the package _currently_ in portage is 
completely broken, and has no maintainer, current guideline is to either find 
a new maintainer or *remove* it from the tree.

As no one stepped up in maintaining this package, it got punted.

Fixing an open bug is up to the Treecleaning dev in question.  I've been 
talking to some people on how exactly to handle this.  I don't want to 
bump random packages and not add myself as maintainer; usually this 
amounts to the same package having a bug assigned to maintainer-needed 
or treecleaners in a couple of months (either for another bump; or some 
other reason).  However if I were to take ownership of every maintainer 
needed package that has an ebuild I'd soon be the proud owner of about 
100 packages that I don't care about.

The masking and the e-mails and the bug filings are done for a reason; a 
loud and clear "this bug needs a maintainer or it's getting axed."  Some 
stuff gets fixed (aka pornview) most of it gets punted instead.

How about entering the removed ebuilds into bugzilla under an adequate section?

In the event of tree booting, you have the option to maintain the
ebuild in an overlay such as sunrise[1]. Or seeking out some
interested party to do so for you.

Heh.

If you actually tried it, though, you'd see that's it's a nice
application and the pr0n thingy is just a joke .-)

sunset overlays ;0

There is a TreeCleaner Project overlay; but I was planning on placing 
tools in it; I may be convinced to add the ebuilds (and their files) 
that we clean to it; assuming it doesn't take anyone that long to do it;
the problem being for some things that live only on our mirrors; the 
ebuilds won't work as the files get purged after two weeks.  Let me 
consider this though; if we can script it somehow it would maybe benefit 
others (a treecleaner poopy overlay for Layman also...)

That would be an awesome idea. I have never been a fan of cleaned ebuilds
moving to the CVS attic and I have had to fetch some old ebuild and
associated patches from the portage's CVS Attic on 2 occasions and it was a
major pain.
