I use some of those packets daily. Is there a way to join the Common
Lisp project without currently having maintainer status or is that not
intended?

Especially dev-lisp/sbcl is important to me. I use the majority of the
mentioned software, but the distribution of the libraries usually
happens through different channels, so I did not install those via
portage. When taking those over I'd have to look into how they are
packaged. Maintaining the Common Lisp implementations on the other
hand should not be a major problem. I regularly build SBCL and CLISP
from source on systems which don't provide it in another way or don't
support current system calls which the binary version expects. I also
have experience writing ebuilds.
