The point of treecleaners is to clean stuff that is broken. They
shouldn't be removing packages that do not work. That being said, if

If this is some opaque comment about how it should easier to
contribute to Gentoo (including being a proxy maintainer) then I
couldn't agree more. That being said after looking at what it takes to
become a debian developer or ubuntu developer...I don't think our
