Hi

The Treecleaners project introduced ( over a month ) and new page[1] to track
maintainer-needed packages. This page is automatically generated. You can make
use of this page to track packages that needs your love instead of searching
bugzilla or grep the entire tree. 

On behalf of the Treecleaners project

awesome! this is really cool. perhaps even announce it on gentoo-dev-
announce.

a feature request / suggestion for improvement may be to include a link 
which shows bugzilla search results for the package directly (like the one 
you can see on the linked packages page).

also, perhaps include a paragraph like the following:

Gentoo developers and users are encouraged to pick up maintenance for 
maintainer-needed packages. Users can become maintainers for packages via 
the proxy-maintainer process (link to proxy-maintainer page - could not 
find it)

anyway - great work! thanks

Are you generating this and checking it in or is infra generating it
on their end?

I have some ideas for formatting and layout; plus it looks like you
are just blobbing all the packages directly into the GuideXML which
kind of sucks for structured data like this.  Typically I'd go for
something like maintainer-needed-packages.xml which just contains the
data and then maintainer-needed.xml is a small webpage (no data on it
at all) that includes some custom xsl that does the presentation.

Examples of said behavior:

I do it on my personal computer. Not related to infra at all. 

I did some changes to the page to include both Description and open
bugs link ( plus the text Thilo suggested )

You may find it here[1]. I will be like this when the script run again

As for the separate files, perhaps I could do that but I need some time to
start implementing that. However I think the current structure of the page
looks good now.

Awesome, much less whitespace wasted in the new format ;p

How often do you plan on doing updates?

The script is running daily at 4:15 AM (UTC) I think but it only updates the page
when needed. 
Using pquery it finds all the maintainer-needed packages. Then it compares this list to the yesterdays' one and decides
if an update to the page is necessary or not

perhaps you can add a timestamp at the bottom to indicate when the list 
was last updated. dont know if the date on the right is updated but a 
timestamp would be more accurate.

The date is accurate. I don't thing if there is a real need to know the exact
time that this page was generated.

Can we break up the list for package with active bugs and packages
without?

I see a bunch of stuff in there that I use, but they've been extremely
bugfree, so I've never bothered with any maintenance.

Some bits:
app-office/ledger
net-misc/fakeidentd
net-misc/wakeonlan
net-nds/ldapvi
sys-apps/blktool
sys-apps/fxload
sys-process/incron

That would be nice yes, but I can't think of a way to implement it atm. I will
try to come up with something
