He (I remember it was a bloke) mentioned I think mailing to devrel@g.o and also mentioned that he'd be working on the project in the new year. In any case, I think it'd be much better if there wasn't such a distincti= on between ebuild maintainers and ordinary users, or at least a gentler path to bring people in. --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
