If you start moving maintainer-needed package on Sunrise then Sunrise will
end up as a garbage collector overlay having many many ebuilds that nobody
will actually maintain. If you care about maintainer-needed package then
step up and proxy maintain it. The delay ( which is not that big if you
cooperate with an active developer/herd ) might be a drawback but still... I
don't want sunrise to become a place where abandoned ebuilds will end up.
