As usual, it is nigh impossible to force people to work on a specific
project. I would encourage radhermit to ask for assistance if he thinks he
needs it. dol-sen asked because he is working on a bunch of projects and
knows he cannot maintain portage by himself. Even if the council were to
decree that portage be frozen, I doubt that would actually halt
contributions.
