One remark from a "proxy-maintainer" view:

A proxy-maintainer (like me) cannot commit or add github pull requests for 

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/api.git/tree/files/uid-gid.tx

and therefore cannot allocate a valid UID/GID for valid new ebuilds in
pull requests.

So for proxy-maintained packages which need acct-user/acct-group ebuilds
this must be

- either done like before - announcement on the gentoo-dev ML, then
committed by ???

- or done by a member of the proxy-maintainers group.


Maybe you find the time to refine that exception in the documentation.
